However I don't see a significant performance difference with SYSTEM loaded into RAM, so have opted to have more free memory by adding "noram" to cmdline.txt.
If you are seeing 300MB free with Gotham, I've a sneaking suspicion you're not loading SYSTEM into RAM. A recent Gotham build (128MB GPU) with SYSTEM not loaded into RAM only has ~75MB free.
If you have a file called /dev/SYSTEM then you are booting with SYSTEM loaded into RAM.
I do have /dev/SYSTEM and the debug OSD currently shows 296000/382000KB but free -m shows
Code:
OpenELEC:~ # free -m

Mem: 373 350 23 0 42

EDIT: Reverted to the 18/08 build and both problems are fixed
