I have noticed the same problem with PPage 1.3. It seems that PopUpMenu 
fragments Chip memory very efficiently when some items from the menu are
repeated several times. That is a pity, because PopMenu would save your time 
when you e.g. have to make some change to all boxes on the page, by selecting 
them one by one and choosing every time the same menu/submenu item (I hope the
PPage 2.0 will have a more elegant way of doing 'collective' changes:-).
