Cygwin XFree86 consumes memory


Did somebody observed that Cygwin/Xfree86's memory usage suddenly
increases, causing Windows getting slow?

I start Cygwin/Xfree86 and 50 konsole (KDE console) in it. I see in
Win98 performance monitor that CPU usage is 15%, memory usage is  70MB,
free physical memory 20MB and swap file size is 30MB. Than I start 5
konsoles more and sudenly CPU usage is 60%, memory usage is 96MB, free
physical memory 0MB and swap file size is 280MB!!! and the whole system
is getting very slow.

What is this?
