I don't save anything in the image explicitly. It's all from Seaside's growth
patterns. I don't know exactly what causes the image growth, but I would
venture to say that it is Session information. I took someone's advice to
clean up all session handlers at every login, but I still see that the image
grows and shrinks from time to time.
