I'd be happy to see M2 slip a day to get our working set down to a
reasonable size.

Note: the (server) working set when using DAV will probably be quite a bit
better. It will be operating against the FS a bit at a time, then cleaning
up. We won't have these big editor-based pools that glom everything
together. Dunno what'll happen on the client, tho.
