Is it just my configuration, or is the current OS/2 2.0 pre-release
(version 6.123) an incredible memory hog?  I'm running with 6meg of
ram and have a 3.5meg swapper.dat right after I boot, which grows to
about 7meg witin a few hours.  running the same programs on the same
macine under 1.2, I started with 640k and would typically reach about
3meg after a few hours.  Presumably, this is just a matter of 2.0 not
being properly tuned yet, but I'd be thrilled to hear that no one else
is having this problem, and I'm just doing something grossly wrong in
my CONFIG.SYS.
