1G of memory just to play music?

I'm running banshee 1.5.0 on Ubuntu Jaunty and it's currently reported
by top:

PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
8210 brian 20 0 934m 462m 8040 S 1 16.7 92:18.25 banshee-1

Seriously. 1GB of virtual and 462MB(!) of real memory just to play
music?

Considering I can quit that banshee and start a new one and it only
costs me:

PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
10453 brian 20 0 132m 69m 23m S 0 2.5 0:08.23 banshee-1

in memory, what's going on? One could jump to the memory leak
conclusion but I would have thought (out of pure ignorance mind you)
that a programming environment like mono/.NET would have taken care of
those kinds of uglies.

Cheers,
b.

Try 1.5.1, it fixes an ugly memory leak. There are still a couple of
known leaks though, patches are welcome:
