Hi Seth,

This is *much* better, now.

The memory test gives:

Initial state: Available memory: 2527 Mb
 Kicad is compiled in Release version.

pcbnew loaded, with CJK:
 Available memory: 2365 Mb
 pcbnew + fp viewer loaded, with CJK:
 Available memory: 2349 Mb
 Pcbnew+Eeschema, with CJK:
 Available memory: 2260 Mb

Thanks.
