How do I recover the missing Mb without re-setting again? Is this just poor programming on behalf of the software writers?

A ROM flushing utility similar to RAM flushing utilities available for PC would be great, if anyone's listening!
My guess is this may be due to caching. If you re-open one of those programs that you stopped, I think you'll find it opens quicker than it did the first time because some components of the program may still be in memory. I know that with any version of windows on the PC, there is just some memory that's not made available again until you reboot. I'm thinking this is true for the pocket pc as well.
