not sure if there is any reports of this or not, basically using gitk
on my macbookpro2,2 makes the system extremely slow and unusable
(after a while can finally use the system)

in dmesg I am seeing this:

Looks like a memory leak in gitk and nothing to do with the kernel. I
would take this up with them.

cool... I haven't had a chance yet to upgrade git(external things in life)
but once I get to it I will, and see.

Thanks
