It seemed pretty steady, flucuating slowly from around 40mb to 80mb.

Something more interesting I noticed was that the CPU usage really falls
off during the photon gathering step.  You'd think it would be near 100%
through the whole thing, but in that pre-render step it starts out near
100% and then falls off in a linear fashion to almost nothing before
it's ready to render.

I wonder if there are breaks in CPU usage as the photons are stored in
memory...otherwise I'd think that it's not working as fast as it could.
