I've got the same problem: Working on a rich-client application and therefore 
using the GUI designer regularly, I relaize that after approx. one hour of 
heavy work, MonoDevelop eats up all my RAM (I've got 1 GB on my machine) and 
starts eating my swap partition. Besides MD only Firefox and Kontact are 
running. Strange thing. :-/

Possible explanation: GUI Objects are not de-referenced once they become 
unnecessary, so the GC doesn't recycle them.
