Well, if you want to ignore VIRT, then the two versions come with in  
10megs of each other out of almost 1GB, and yet orig was still  
running after 5 hours.  I don't see how that can be preferred.  I  
would also imagine the reason both versions don't use more RSS is  
because I only have 1GB of ram.
