Exactly. I can't find it yet but it isn't recommended to trim your working set continually. It can slow future memory allocations in your application.
If people _think_ you app is running with too much memory - tell them to Minimize and Maximize the app to see a true indication, and then explain to them about how the OS allocates memory - hopefully they will be asleep after the first sentence...
