Memory usage

I am using Jetty as the servlet container on my development machine, which
happens to be running win2k.  I am noticing that as I stop and start the
application I am developing (using the admin servlet) the memory usage of
the jetty service I use to run jetty grows and grows until swapping starts
to occur.  At this point I usually restart the service to get things moving
again.

Now I know all of the stopping and starting I am doing is peculiar to
development, but still I would expect the memory usage to be more stable, as
it was with tomcat (though it was much slower ;-).

Can anyone give me a clue as to what might be causing this behaviour.  I am
also curious if I should expect to see similar behaviour on linux when I
start using Jetty for production?  I would imagine that it would be less
apparent as I am unlikely to be restarting the webapp as frequently as I do
in development, but it will still happen.

Thanks,

Scott
