RE: MSN Messenger huge resource hog
thus the "total memory usage"...
Well, if it goes down again when you close the applications, then there is no problem.
Yes, it can be much at first sight, but remember that Windows uses page files and file mapping and stores many data on HDD as virtual memory. If, for some reason, your PC is a bit slow, has some low memory, is busy with other things, or what not, this figure can go up considerably. Also remember that Windows isn't that accurate in reporting memory usage.
Although an increase of 250MB is indeed much and maybe abnormal. Check if you have the same increase without applying any patches (other then polygamy)...
