Well, I did find out what was doing it, or at least, what was CAUSING it
to happen (either directly, or by bogging down the system allowing
something else to do it): Opera. Opera, like Seamonkey (Mozilla) is a
memory hog. It eats memory when it starts, and keeps eating more memory,
and doesn't seem to understand the concept of FREEING random access
memory once it's done with it. Instead, it just grabs more. I have a
lot of tabs that I keep open in Opera, and have to re-start it about
every day to 1.5 days. The easiest way to know that I need to is when
things both inside and outside of Opera start not working right.

I am not, nor do I have any desire to be, a Mac developer...so I
probably wouldn't understand much, if anything there. I can hack out
some quick programs in C/C++ (mostly Android JNI code for a camera
app I was working on, until the economy crashed and I realized nobody
was likely to be buying apps anytime soon), and I've written a brewer's
recipe formulator in Tcl/Tk, and of course, JStrack (free hurricane
tracker, also Tcl/Tk), but that's about where I stop.
Thanks,
