Hi kerry,

freebytes is somewhat misleading, because there is more than one result
possible:

- the app's free local ram
- the app's free ram including temporary memory
- the app's free contiguous ram (which is needed to load a large chunk of
stuff) -> you can find this value by 'the freeblock'

So I'd never trust freebytes, it's only an estimate ;-)
