Hm, actually... I haven't seen any difference on my system but version 6.30 should use considerably less memory for processing than 6.21, due to the code cleanups (I'm using a memory pool now which is shared by all the different processing functions; before they all claimed their own memory).
From an overall memory standpoint, yes, I've seen a reduction. With 6.30, I'm hitting at about 100M for the Winamp process, which is a reduction from before.
That said though, what I was referring to was the L2 cache size. I think any processor with < 1M will struggle with any of the more recent releases. Without the cleanups and optimizations, anything with < 2M was struggling.
I have noticed that the CPU usage with the GUI up has increased again though. That happened for quite some time, then it wasn't very noticable, and now it is very noticable again.
