At least earlier, before some mem-leak plugging, gimp leaked tiles.
So when I was editin a large image (3000x4000 or something, a scanned
slide), I started to hear a "tick... tick.. tick.. tick.. "-sound from the
harddisk.. Further investigation showed that while Gimp was basically idle
and I was doing nothing with the image..
Hm.. It happens still:

However, the GOOD part is it doesnt eat RAM anymore, so it doesnt crash X
when I go to lunch :) But 1MB in 20 seconds is pretty weird to me.. And
like I said, gimp is sitting idle. I'll check once more..

Ok, while I was writing this, during 3 minutes we got 11MB of more swapfile.
Any clue?
