I just tested a large scene with post process myself because i'm also using NT,
did not finish it, because after 20 minutes of PP, it had finished mere 7%.  It
did not crash until then, but the swapfile got 540 Mb large.  

In fact NT should not crash because of an application memory leak (it maybe does
though :-) but in any case, megapov's memory use during post processing seems
not very efficient.
