Hi Ken,

Would you remind us what the original problem was? If I understand
your recent messages on the subject, it seems that a) Squeak isn't
using large amounts of memory and b) the memory used isn't creeping up
over time. Is it just that the RSS is significantly larger than what
the VM reports it's using for the object memory, and you're wondering
why the kernel leaving stuff paged in?
