I actually got my this weeks record today:

13858 donkey    10   0  241M 241M   728 R     0 30.3 63.8  2360m mldonkey

A usage more than 300M is a problem for me, as the kernel will begin to
swap all others away.
There should definitely an config-option in the upcoming mldonkey 2.00
which will control the maximum memory usage:
limit_memory_usage = 200M

or something would be great.
