That seems very strange to me. I keep several sage servers going all the time, with students using some of them, and I've never had that problem. Sometimes when I have 10-15 students and they all open a lot of worksheets it creeps up, but not what you are describing. Usually its about 20-50 Mb per worksheet. This is on OS X, if you are on linux perhaps it reserves memory more aggresively?
I'm sure William or someone else can answer this more definitively. Cheers, M.
