ASG V7 has lots of new features, all applications that run need RAM, as well es the configuration handling, needs to use more memory as the potential configuration is bigger.
On top of that, ASG V7 has a selftuing mechanism, which reconfigures the system parameters based on available RAM to give best performance on that kind of system.
If you have a system with more RAM, than we will use it to deliver faster Service. On devices with less RAM we will reconfigure the applications to use less.

I wouldn't call them new features if they don't work...
So far in my testing of V7 I find that it uses the memory quite efficiently.. machines that were somewhat sluggish on V6 are faster on V7. I wouldn't worry about it.. heh heh.. ever run a WIndows 2000 or 2003 Exchange server? Those things use 99% of the memory in the machine by design!

It is Linux. Which utilizing ram would be far more efficient than swap. V6 for me never used more than 650meg of 1gig. Although an unnamed other firewall
product I have in use somewhere uses on average 60% of only 128meg.
