Memory allocation should have negligible or no effect at all on heat generated. Memory heat depends, AFAIK, solely on memory activity. Reading or writing cells. Unless there is a feature that allows free memory to be powered down or not refreshed. I have not heard of it. Considering that a laptop can sleep, while it keeps all ram holding its data on battery for some days, I don't think that unused ram uses any amount of significant power. -- Cheers, Carlos.
