Please tell, what are you trying that you can't do on 2.0.x, but can do on 1.1.7.28?

This is not Windows. If you memory have not much free space it means memory is allocated and used correctly. A lot of free ram means very bad memory management. As beginner user you should not care how much ram is free and enjoy using your phone.

maybe he refers to 'freezed' apps due to low memory killer ?

When user says "it eats memory and swap" i'm pretty sure he installed some software showing free memory or so.

Sorry guys.

I remember that when I used 1.0 all worked fine. After upgrade to 2.0 I noticed that UI become work slower. In last time apps (especially android apps for example Yandex Maps) run very slowly. top or free output shows that memory is used for ~90% after boot. When I am starting apps, swap is using. After returning to 1.1.7.28 memory is used only for ~50%. But my apps run very slowly too. So the problem is not solved after downgrade...

Jolla 1? Try to upgrade your phone to 2GB variant :)

Well, that shows this problem was never caused by Sailfish 2.0 to begin with.
