TruBlueEnv is taking on the order of a GB of virtual memory... this seems a bit excessive. how does this tally with everyone else's experiences?

I remember when I had Classic installed that was about what I experienced.

Not really too surprising when you realize that you are running an entire OS within an OS.

My TruBlueEnv (listed as Null in Activity Monitor) is taking 1.07GBs of virtual memory, too. I believe that classic is assigned 1GB of memory. . . But it really doesn't matter as long as you have sufficient drive space.

Virtual memory is not the same as swapped memory. There isn't 1GB of memory swapped to your hard drive for Classic.
