It may not matter, but it's the *resident* memory value that goes way up,
and never seems to go down. Virtual seems to stay constant, and I am not
terribly concerned about it at this point. I don't see this with other
software--i.e., I will see memory go up in certain situations and then go
down afterwards (such as when loading an exceptionally large document into
BBEdit). It makes me think they are doing something to release the memory
back to the kernel (or whatever). The behavior I am seeing just seems
abnormal and not very memory friendly.
