I have 371.3, and upon restart it is now 110 Megs RPRVT.  I was  
running programs within DrScheme, so I bet that was it.  I'll have to  
watch it more closely and see when it swells to 400+.  I'd be happy  
with ~150 MB considering what some other IDEs take.

I'm on Mac OS X, and I notice that some other programs seem to grow  
but never shrink -- Safari for example has been running for a while,  
and is now doing nothing but has 345 Megs RPRVT.  I restart it and  
it's down to 20 Megs.

What happened to emacs being "eight megs and constantly swapping"?  :)

thanks,
Rob
