For some reason, all of a sudden, apps under OS X started taking huge gobs of memory. I'm not sure when it started, but now a set of apps that used to grab about 750M are grabbing 1.5G or more. (Tonight I topped out at 3.5G) Not normally a huge problem, but it makes quitting out of idle apps a major pain, as they start swapping in and out and 10.1.5 puts up the spinning rainbow cursor. It's not all apps, but looks like mainly Cocoa ones.
Hopefully Jaguar will take care of this. It's annoying, and makes the machine sluggish and unpleasant to work with.
