Me too.

But a bit more weird.

Pidgin was in the background for an hour. (Normal memory consumption) Then I started WinXP in vBox and ERROR: "Host low memory". I thought Java/Netbeans was eating up everything so i tried to close it: Click on Close button... wait... 4 minutes.... I got unpatient and issued "killall java"... No reaction... "sudo killall -9 java"... worked. But I was still lagging. Re-opening the terminal I just closed took the system 3 minutes! Then I managed to start the System monitor to see whats going on and... "huh?! Pidgin? 607 MB? Holy cow!". (then used kill -9 on pidgin). And everything was fine. Its running and its fine...

Pidgin had only one MSN account to *@live.de server.

(Linux Mint 10. Running programs: vBox (paused) and Netbeans 6.9.1, Dropbox, Skype. Having 1GB RAM).
Well, 2.7 GB swap usage.
