Has anyone noticed that when running win 3.0 in 386 enhanced
mode that memory gets dirty and does not get cleaned up after
closing an application?

Here's my scenario:

I have a 386-25 with 2 megs of ram and a 40 meg HD.

I open turbo C in a dos window and start editing my source code
and windows does not slow down at all. ( i.e. - no disk swap yet).

I open another application which requires my disk to start swapping,
now  I close that application and go back to use turbo C but it is
now swapping to disk making even simple text editing a tedious chore.

Any similar experiences? A bug maybe?
