1. Ubuntu will do itself that when needed. 2. dumping it costs resources so will slow your system down 3. it will slow down even more since it will also reload it into memory.

By freeing I meant removing or disabling any needed application as well. so basically that X, or compiz can be shut down right? they shouldnt be some system critical apps right?
