 Sure. The current monitoring session started on 2010-01-15, so I'll keep
 it going over the weekend before it resumes its scheduled recordings next
 week to get more than a week's stats.

 I have noticed occasional plateaus during the memory growth on my
 0.21-fixes backend (original reason for ticket), but memory growth always
 resumes and appears to continue to rise until I restart the mythbackend
 service. It never plateaus permanently.
