This is a weirdness I can verify ... I experienced it too.
But I found something else, too! After I got the page loaded on
counters, I changed the menu position in Arachne from across the top to
the side -- and the figures changed! I was using 4294941244 XMS, a drop
of 55 KB from when I had menu across the top! But I was also using more
xSwap.
Weeeeiiirddd ... Halloween coming early??

RAM [DOS only see 64Mb] and 1024 Ncache.
