Either you are drunk or your keyboard has been cheating on you
+1 on the lighter ROM OR
At OP: there is an app called system tuner, where you could decide which applications should start, using that you could have a restricted start up and "might" be able to reduce memory usage.

More free ram does not mean better multitasking.

Dont apoligize. Learn up on Android and how it has been specially built to distribute RAM & memory. Info for those who dont know - unlike PC's, when we see very little RAM available (Settings/Apps/Running), its actually a really good thing. It means our system is ready with almost all apps preloaded. When you have 90mb+ of free RAM, you should be worried. Thats why i discourage many from using task killers and superchargers. It f*cks up how Android manages its RAM.

Not entirely true. If you have 90MB+ of free RAM at boot, for example, you'll get a lot of cached apps. So, in a way, what you see is not entirely what you get. You only ever get that much true free RAM after executing a heavy (in terms of RAM consumption) app.

CM9 was pretty much as fast as it could be on Mini, there is really nothing major that can be improved. For me, when I was using CM9 on Mini, it was way faster than any other 2.3 ROM, tough the lack of RAM made it very buggy when, for example, browsing Play Store and downloading multiple apps while reading e-mail etc.

Yeah I know but on cm10.1 armv6team changed to a new ram management which consome very less ram (on cm10.1 for galaxy mini I got ~100MB free with 20 or 19 apps installed. But I think it has to do with triple frambuffer too since androidarmv6 team disabled on cm10.1
Anyway erikcas is just working on cm9 to fix some things that are remaining for example: YouTube Reboots, Video Recording, WPA 2 Encryption (very easy to fix)
But Cm9 is still more smooth just sometimes phone freeze (maybe ram consumption? Or triple framebuffer? Or anything that I don't know ) and I hope he fix it

You cannot reduce RAM amount the device is using... Just think. If app uses 10MB RAM it will use it like no matter what. Of course it's possible to prevent memory leaks and stuff like that, but the change is not very big. Also, I know he will fix the bugs that were still present when I left, but I was talking about the speed.

Understanding RAM
I apologize for resurrecting an older thread, but I'm having difficulties wrapping my head around the limitations of available RAM. It seems sadly lacking that the newest devices still have a ~800mb RAM limit, with a good 2/3 being used up by system processes.
In trying to understand the root issue, I guess my first question is why. Why is so little memory dedicated to running apps? Is this similar to the old 640K limitation under DOS? Why can't more memory be allocated to RAM for increased performance when running apps? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but It is my understanding that RAM and Storage (ROM) are physically the same thing, but separated by artificial "partitions" to isolate RAM from Internal Storage. If my understanding of this is correct, why can't one sacrifice Internal storage space to increase the System RAM size to, hypothetically 2gb, leaving roughly 1.3gb free for running apps so task killers or memory "babysitting" is not an issue. Wouldn't this be better and more efficient than just having a mere 300mb available for running apps?
I would appreciate it if somebody could explain and/or correct my understanding of Android memory utilization, and why System RAM seems to be such an issue.

It is not bad that the RAM is in use. RAM stands for Random Access Memory and can and will be used for the system and used apps. eXistenZe is pretty bloatware free but you can remove extra apps when you want to (see link above).
RAM management of Sony is pretty agressive so you have to play a bit to see what works for you

sometimes i feel like ram isnt enough especially when playing games. when i exit the game, icons begin to reload which is an indication of low ram i think?
You could try to clear some RAM with apps like Fast Reboot or any Taskmanager. However constantly clearing RAM is not good and will Cache data.. If you want to play a Game reboot your device. All the apps are closed and only the system and start-with-boot apps are started. This results in a minimum RAM usage

The reload is not always indications of low ram, but its just reload the launcher, in many roms launcher is locked on the ram, so when you exit its dont have a reload time.
its doesn't matter if you have less free ram in your device, if you still feel good and smooth when used it.

If you have titanium backup, you can also try the hard way which is creating a widget for disabling/enabling/launching Facebook application. So when you click the widget it unfreezes the app and launch it. When you are finish you click on the widget again and it will this time disable the app totally from your system. It takes like 1 more second to launch the app but if you don't use it a lot it's worth it !
