FWIW:
I have performance problems on Windows XP (SP2) with Python 2.5.1 that
could be caused by this behaviour.
My code regularily calculates the sha1 sum of 10.000 files and because
in another reuse of the code had to deal with files too big to fit in memory
I set a limit of 256Mb. It looks like that is now allocated and
deallocated for every one of the 10.000 files, making things *very* slow.
