I ran hello-world/v03 (swarm-1.0.5, swarmapps-1.0.2) for two hours
on an UltraSparc2 2300 and virtual memory usage grew by about 2 meg
starting at 5 meg.  This was with 200 people, not the default of 10.

You could easily start to thrash on a 16meg machine; X11R6 by itself
probably has you down to just a few meg free before you even start 
a simulation.
