 Here is an example
 {{{

 sage: for i in range(1,8):
     A=(1/2)*vector([x/2 for x in range(i*1000)])
     get_memory_usage()
 ....:
 921.53125
 1287.4765625
 2111.984375
 3577.546875
 5867.19140625
 9164.109375
 ... (killed, due to running out of memory)
 }}}
 The printed numbers in Mb. Needless to say:
 {{{
 sage: for i in range(1,8):
 ....:     A=vector([x/2 for x in range(i*1000)])
 ....:     get_memory_usage()
 ....:
 828.91015625
 829.4453125
 829.73046875
 830.0
 830.55859375
 830.75
 831.0078125
 }}}
 works as expected. (This is with Sage 4.6 on x64, but is not limited to
 this particular platform: see [https://groups.google.com/group/sage-
 devel/browse_thread/thread/e86f13c78b92a8bb?hl=en]. Sage 4.5.3 shows the
 same behaviour.)
