(Get the code!)
I can recreate this at will. Open applications and do a search (eg for "startup"). The RAM usage in Unity 2d will climb about 5Mb. start the appliation and it will often climb another 3mb or more.
Now open applications and search for another app (eg firefox) and watch the RAM usage climb again. You don't even need to open the app, backspace and search for "startup" again. Keep doing this and the RAM usage climbs again and again. Sometimes it plateaus, if this happens, just open the app, and the ram climbs again and so on. I was able to get the unity ram usage up very high very quickly. I stopped with it got silly - over 512 Mb ram usage for Unity 2D. I've been watching my RAM for a while now wondering were it was going.
I'm also going to raise a bug on Firefox beta 4 - 200Mb is ridiculous, also where my RAM was going. I have a 1 GB machine.
I'm attaching a screen shot for demonstration purposes, note the ram usage figure in system monitor for Unity.
