No, but I know a few that have from another forum I attend. They liked it better than OD. As far as memory usage goes, I have no idea.

Y'z Dock isnt being made anymore but it can still be found (PM me if you cant find it).. Apparently it was SO good that Apple threatned to sue Mr. Y ..
Dockletts are (or, were last time i looked) still being made for it..

How much memory usage is OD taking up on your system? My screeny is what mine uses. I have OD set to auto hide when I am not using it. That may help since the icons are not displayed unless you need them

You think maybe the mem has something to do with how many programs I have running? OD shows me what programs are running and I don't know how to stop that. |

What do you mean it shows you what programs are running? If you mean what I think you mean, then yes you can turn that off. I know I did.

Columbus, OH | You know when you start a program and OD shows what's running at the bottom (I have my dock on the left side)? |

Go into the configure dock settings. Set yours up like I show in my screenshot. This will keep icons for currently running programs from appearing.
Actually it might be the upper option above what I have circled that needs to be unchecked.

Columbus, OH | OK I did that thanks. Does it matter (in resources) how many Icons I have? |

So you have yours set to auto hide? The only thing that makes memory use go up on my system is if I use OD alot. For example, run my cursor back and forth across all the icons, which creates alot of animation. Even doing that, it maxes out around 7,500K.
