It's not just a memory issue. Some applications use CPU time when seemingly
at idle. For example, I have Safari open right now, but am not actively
browsing. With 2 or 3 windows open, it seems to take 5-8 percent of the CPU
cycles (though it drops drastically when I close those windows and leave it
running). MS Word, with no documents open, occupies a trickle of cycles.
