Well when you profile be sure you use a machine with 48MB of memory,
start up a "normal" mix of applications, measure the delay caused by all
swap activity, and measure the decrease in speed of other programs (not
just b/c of swap but any disk reads which are delayed by swap
activity).  Profiling a stand-alone-app when the issue is excessive
memory consumption of a "mix"/desktop of applications is critically
incomplete.

Yes, when everyone has 1GB of memory which costs only $5 (maybe in 5
years) nobody will care about that.
