Yea, but I feel like leaving DOpus running (even "idle" as iconified) on an unaccelerated A1000 (even w/ 8MB FAST) is kind of "much."
Iconified, I think it uses negligible CPU power and RAM usage is about half a meg. That's like a drop in the ocean for an 8MB 1.3 system.
Gotta embrace the DOpus, man!
