This is the Pg backend line from top after about 90 minutes runtime :
I rebuild without debug, and ran just the start/insert/commit sequence
over and over and noticed that on my machine it looked to grow as above
but that if I let it go long enough it seemed to basically stop (or at
least the growth was slow enough to go without notice as compared to the
easily noticable growth before). I'm running the full sequence now, but
it's going to be a while before it stops or gets up to the place where it
stoped in the s/i/c sequence.

No sign of the shared growth stopping at this stage...
Pg built with --disable-debug --without-zlib
Platform is Linux 2.4.21+ xfs (Mandrake 9.2beta)
