- Easy thing to do is use "ps" from terminal and *see* what processes seem to
- have a large chunck of memory allocated to them...I haven't looked at the code
- at all, but my guess would be that the WindowServer will be the culprit. And
- that it arises from many Views/Windows/etc that are being allocated and perhaps
- not freed/re-used.

- Good luck,
