      Seriously, I thought these numbers were much higher.

      But it sounds like your numbers are true (from Metalforge),

      so I believe you. I remember that we had some serious memory-leaks

      at times, maybe that got me thinking the mem-consumtion is so high.
     
     
  Yeah - I think there was some pretty horendous memory leaks - it looks like 
most of those have been fixed up.  I'd have to watch metalforge for a longer 
period of time to see how much more memory it takes up.

  Size of object structure can have some effect on memory leaks if the leak 
itself is leaking the object structure, or something that contains the object 
structure.

  should be pretty easy to do.  At the same time, I'll update the docs about how 
to add flag values, since I think that info doesn't currently exist.

  Adding new values isn't very difficult.  I think at one time a perception that 
is was very difficult got started - not as much because it was, but because it 
isn't documented, and forgetting to do one step out of the several needed can 
result in it still not working, which can make it very frustrating for the 
person adding the value.
