I just had to kill OW, it was hung somewhere "imaging HTML" or somesuch.

While it was running, I did a "ps" in a terminal window. The OW process showed
USER       PID  %CPU %MEM VSIZE RSIZE TT STAT  TIME COMMAND

MY GAWD! 175MB VIRTUAL and 41.3 REAL!!?? What on earth is it doing with this  
kind of memory allocation? Is it just one gigantic memory leak?

Inquisitive minds (and disgruntled users!) want to know!
