I run Greenthumb hours a day - after 1-2 hours the XP machine gets 
unstable - memory usage stays stable at 7-10 mb, it's just the machine 
that's lagged - and it's not only when running greenthumb.
on linux it runs like a hot knife through butter for days - but can be 
the applet environment in particular on XP.
