No, I mean the program uses more memory when I run it, and the memory 
consumption is slightly higher after I quit than it was before I opened 
the program. It does this with other apps, too (Firefox). I don't think 
it's a problem with my program, if other programs are doing it too. 
Unless, of course, Firefox is buggy (which it might be).
