I have also found that eventually it can't reclaim ANY memory and performance gets really flaky (especially if my machine is booted to Windows 98 for testing - locks up the entire OS something awful). Increasing the available memory staves off this problem for a longer period, but when it finally does fill up the memory, garbage collection is slower - it can bring the machine completely to its knees with 196 MB allocated.
