re a cleaner GUI, I think I'll miss the lime, but not much. The search progress tabs make it redundant anyway.

I wondered if maybe the lime was removed to cut down on memory use

Well, at least we know it's not the cause of the VM problem

re the VM situation--I give up. For less than 1 GB of bandwidth, the VM rose to >1.5 GB before my G3 became pretty much unusable (took ~20 minutes of thrashing before I could quit this morning--and I still lost the BigTop graph). Would have been nice to track it down before Apple updates Java.
