Opening Xcode takes 76  MB real memory (I guess that's physical memory?) 
and 324 MB virtual memory.

After opening the DMD project, indexing, downloading some doc sets, it's 
at 227 MB real memory and 420 virtual memory.

Yesterday I got a stack overflow in our Rails application and the Ruby 
instance took 4 GB real memory.
