Are you kidding me?! a.b.dvd ate up your 4gb swap in 0.114.
I knew this was a good patch, surely you're not telling me
it saved 4gb??
When I got up it was done downloading. 1.6gb/2.0gb no swap used.
Downloading a test iso now to see that there are not any hiccups.

I've done a little more testing on this now.
I put some print statements in to count how many bytes were saved.
For a one-month sample of a.b.dvd, (465420691 bytes, == 443.8 meg)
were saved. Pan's footprint was 506 meg, and just starting up
Pan costs 33 meg, so a.b.dvd cost (506-33 == 473) meg.
So it looks the cost for large groups is cut about in half.
I haven't looked at smaller groups yet. They should be
helped a little but not as big a percentage as the big groups.
The more parts an article has, the more this patch will help.

Iso test download went without a hiccup. YAAAY. Couple of odd things,
search on a.b.dvd takes a long time 5+ minutes (maybe just due to size?)
and it does not seem to surrender memory once it takes it. If I get
a.b.dvd headers on screen pan takes 1.6 gb of memory, when I switch to a
text only group a.c.p.mainboard.asus it is still using 1.6gb. Should it
not free up that memory?
Thanks
