AFAIK its a windows thing - windows minimizes its working set when you
minimize the app, 'cos you are not interacting with it, so it doesn't have
to care about things like back buffers, keyboard interaction etc. JBuilder
and Delphi are the same. On an initial boot with about 15 files open, its
using 32/33 (real/virtual). If I minimize it, it goes down to about 10/33.
Bring it back up and its up to about 14/33. Odd :) I guess Window releases a
lot of the internal stuff then - which is rather a handy thing to know.

But it does not drop back to around the 660k mark again.
