It's unusual here for actual users of IDL to require that much VM (obviously some do, but not many).

It's been running since 29 May and according to the log has served nearly 25,000 licenses since then, so it's not exactly been sitting idle. -- Nigel Wade

Because of the way that OS X allocates virtual memory, it is not unusual for programs to show very large amounts of virtual memory in use. The virtual memory isn't really occupied. This morning real memory usage by the license manager is up to 685 MB. Ken
