We reach about 102MB after 48 hours. The fact that we're deep into swap space doesn't
affect performance noticeably (which I found surprising, but pleasant). Of course the
cache is growing, still...Not full yet. I expect memory requirements to increase, but
I'm going to fob it off by increasing the swap-space for now. As long as performance
remains unaffected, I'm not able to justify running out and jamming more RAM into the
box....much as I'd like to. (Especially since we just upgraded from 32MB to 64MB)
