[gentoo-user] arts using a LOT of memory, why?

[Dale <dalek@exceedtech.net>]

Hi,

I noticed today that arts is using a LOT of memory.  It didn't use to do 
this.  This is from top:

I think over 100MBs is a bit much.  Anybody else noticing this?  Any 
idea why it may be doing this?  It only does it when I have been logged 
in for a while.  It goes back to normal after I log out and back in 
again.  I'm using KDE 3.5. 

Any ideas.  Oh, #1 in my sig by the way.

All run Gentoo Linux, all run folding. #1 is my desktop, 2, 3, and 4 are set up as servers.
