GNS3 on WXP is such a memory hog, took 2.5Gig memory on winXP with 4 routers running OSPF

I had 4 routers running 3745 images with 4T and 16ESW modules; they have OSPF running so all the routers were able to ping each other fine. On my WXP laptop , virtual memory was running at 2.5 Gig making things really crawling. I also had wintabber running to place all the router consoles into tabs which kinda tidied up the workspace.
I was pretty sure I had all the idlepc , ghostios and sparsemem enabled, so not sure why winXP is such a memory hog.
