Though it might work, it is not the best solution. Maybe it would be more efficient preventing non-used applications to occupy memory? not loading quicktime/itunes and msn at start-up of your computer for example would be more constructive.
Even a better solution would be installing an operating system that does not keep all unnecessary stuff in memory, so you can keep your compuer turned on for weeks/months/years, without slowing it down....
P.S.: rumors go that Linus Thorvalds doesn't even know that you can power off a computer.....
