Has anybody tried this app yet? I am a big fan of Google, and all the products they have been turning out lately, and decided to give it a try last night, and promplty uninstalled the damn thing within 15 minutes...

I like the side bar - in fact i liked all of the application, but good god, they need to trim this thing down resource wize - it was hogging nearly 64 megs of ram out of my already limping 512mb system! and had like 6 processes running.

Just curious if anyone else had tried it.
