This is a pretty nice app, though I use it mainly just for its iTunes functionality (skip tracks w/o changing apps), and use Quicksilver for launch capabilities. However, it leaks memory like there is no tomorrow. I have disabled most items and set the cache to the minimum possible, but after 24 hour it gets up to almost 100 MB and after a few days it is at almost 200 MB. We are talking real memory here, not virtual! I know RAM is cheap and I've got 1.5 GB in my G5, but this is a little bit ridiculous.

itunes skip - reowen
Since you say you already use Quicksilver as a launcher but use Butler for iTunes, may I suggest adding a few simple iTunes scripts where Quicksiilver can find them (I use a folder Applications/Scripts/iTunes/). For instance to skip to the next track:tell application "iTunes"
next track
end tell
It takes a few minutes to write, test and save a few useful scripts, but then you have them. (I have one to start iTunes, the one above to skip to the next track and a third to pause).
