Hmmm, my VI has been up for about 2 months on one box--no problem.  I 
tend to use emacs a lot more, but vi and visudo are still very important 
to me.  I have not had a problem with vi grabbing CPU ever.  It is a 
nice lightweight editor with a neat way of keeping hands on keyboard.

jabberd has given problems (eating available RAM) on every single box 
where I tried it and I tried it on all just to verify that it is most 
probably a memory leak.  I will be campaigning for its removal next 
distro unless it gets fixed.
