I noticed my N900 seems to slow down every three days. I have to restart my phone to get rid of the lag on the OS. Is there way to check if there is a memory leak?

this is because the high swap usage and the many in the background running apps.
a well knowed problem but you cant do something aganist that.
i reboot my device every 3-4 days.
you can do it with reboot(must be root) in xterm
or you can create a shortcut in your status area

Ratio of real to virtual memory is well too much at 256 : 768 MB. Why not 512Mb of real memory. I also have to reboot every 2 days because of this nonsense design.

IMO any device that is unable to even boot to desktop without using swap should have more RAM...

256 MB was the largest available chip at the time of design.
The problem being discussed here all but goes away if you remove the python widgets from your desktop. Recaller seems to be a particularly bad offender. I don't reboot now except when i feel like it.
This has been discussed before and there's a large thread somewhere about it and also a bug report.

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?

pls let us know id of bug so we can vote for it. This device is near perfection but yet far away due to basic issues like this Nokia board should fire all.

i have the calendar, facebook, and 3 desktop command execution widgets, along with some app shortcuts and bookmarks, the widgets definitely seem like the culprit.
is there way to restart the hildon desktop without rebooting. rebooting every 3 days is annoying.
also, if there is a way to restart the desktop, then make a script and make a cron job out of it?
