I don't know if this is related but I have recently noticed something
is grabbing about half my available RAM, it suddenly drops to 56MB according
to Multistrip.

It happened yesterday and it happened again just now when I had moving
emails around MyMail folders. I have just tested this and it seems not to
be the cause.

I recently added smb to my start-up services but I wasn't connected to
any other computer this morning.

Is there any way to see what is using RAM ?
