Do you have Guard Malloc enabled? (It's near the bottom of the Debug
menu.) If you do, disabling it would greatly reduce memory consumption.
It's disabled. GuardMalloc makes things so slow that when I need to
debug using it, I make sure I have a good book within reach so I don't
die of terminal boredom.
