Get this- the VM footprint of this setup has *decreased* from 1.6GB to
just over 1GB; the actual resident is staying consistent at ~800MB.

The NVidia-running version has gone from ~900MB to now at 1.7GB VM and
resident of ~980MB.

In either case the test isn't as thorough as normal yet 'cause I'm
working, which isn't consistent with surfing sites that have, er,
lots of pix in 'em. :)

More later, but its really starting to look like the NVidia Binary blob
is if not the reason, a conduit to this problem. Later on I'll look at
some "xrestop" snapshots (running that constantly slows down X). Here's
a snapshot of that, though, which implies it's not using as much mem
as before:

----
res-base Wins  GCs Fnts Pxms Misc   Pxm mem  Other   Total   PID Identifier

compare to before:
