- I have a Pentium w/ 32 meg ram, and I have been running out of
- memory (into swap anyway) using Executor running Excel. I did
- the following experiment by doing the "free" command at different
- stages. I think that the memory usage may be somewhat cumulative,
- that is, the longer I work, the more I use up, but that part I'm
- not sure of. It took over 10 megs of ram to open up three large
- spreadsheets. Is this expected behavior? (Caldera/Linux 1.2.13)
