Indeed, and it doesn't only seem to apply to Windows software. Linux and 
FreeBSD software are affected too. Just last week I tried FreeBSD's 
"native GUI desktop environment" called Lumina, which includes a file 
manager application. By pure chance I ran htop and noticed the Lumina 
file manager uses 500MB RAM. I promptly switched back to PCManFM (a 
generic GTK2 base app) which has exactly the same functionality, but 
uses only 45MB RAM. And then FreeBSD wants to make PCManFM obsolete - 
what the hell!
