I recently fired up Task Manager under WinXP and saw a whopping 224MB Commit Charge, when normal usage was anywhere between 108MB to 150MB.
Exiting the SB client, then restarting it from the Start menu released about 100MB. At this point I tested the Stop/Start button to see if that was a problem.
With each iteration of Stop/Start, the client grabs an additional 6MB. Since I tend to run applications that need full CPU usage on this machine, I've used the Stop/Start button many times over the course of several days (since the last reboot). The SB client does relinquish its reserved memory back to the OS properly upon shutdown, from what I've seen, but of course my question is, where do those 6MB chunks go?
