I grew tired of waiting on it (my linux box only has 256 megs of memory)
when it had about 780 temporary files at which point the process was using
272MB of memory.
So it is pretty much the same on linux - not surprisingly.
I have made a few other experiments, including implementing my own TempFile2
class. If I use the same strategy as Tempfile and use a SimpleDelegator to
delegate to an instance of File I get the same memory consumption. I haven't
figured out why it is so..
Cheers,
