I'm thinking these are the sizes of all the pixmaps the X-Server says
the process has. I was hoping these would grow quite large, but that's
not the case.

BTW a few hours later, and I had to kill the NVidia-running Opera last
night because it grew to a VM of 6GB and a res of 3GB and everything
else I had running caused the system to thrash in swap (5.5GB of Opera
was on the swap disk).

However, the XVnc-running instance of Opera (a direct clone of that one
running on the NVidia-based machine) is still hovering around the same
1045MB/750MB VM/Res figures as yesterday.

It's *gotta* be either (something related to?) compiz (whichi isn't
running on the XVnc box), the NVidia driver, or one of the libraries
linked into Opera on behalf of the NVidia driver.
