It becomes realistic when you use it for some time, because during the 
reparsing the memory usage increases a lot. Also once parsed files are 
currently never deleted again, so it doesn't depend on how many files you 
have open, but on how many files you _had_ open. But that's work in progress, 
and on my list of Things to be fixed.
