The StopDashboard widget kills the Dock process, and in doing so frees the memory Dashboard widgets use. The Dock restarts itself, but Dashboard doesn’t. When you need it, Dashboard starts normally (F12).
Very useful for when you need all the memory you can muster, but don’t want to disable Dashboard via command line.

I need a new Widget that stops annoying posts. I have one but it blocks this site completely.
