No amount of garbage collecting has any affect on it, I just noticed  
that my image was 40 mb bigger than it should have been and so was  
doing some investigation and asked Pavel Krivanek to help me and he  
found that System Windows were not actually going away when closed,  
they just stay around. It could have been taskbar, but turning it off  
has no effect on the situation... I'll get with Pavel and we give you  
details of what was found, I don't have the image laying around right  
now, so I'll dig it up.

Thanks,

Brian
