Thanks Steve for the info and that's a good quick solution having it
auto-restart each day.  

It is frustrating not being able to duplicate the problem.  I usually
have several different SS instances on my laptop for developing and one
at my server at home that is rarely restarted and none of them have ever
gone past 85mb.  If you watch the process in task manager when does the
creeping seem to occur?  Is it during a data refresh or what?  Have you
tried disabling different sports and stuff to see if it helps at all?

I'm not sure when SS7 is coming out, but FWIW an enormous amount of the
code has been rewritten including how it stores display data.  Hopefully
this will nab the problem (fingers crossed).  I basically learned Perl
while writing SDT so please bare with me as I'm far from an expert on
how it handles memory usage/allocation/recovery!

We could try zipping up your installation, but maybe it'd be more
worthwhile to see if my SS7 version of the plugin exhibits the same
problem as that's the future of the plugin.
