I'd love to, but I can't give you a memory dump. :-(  But...

I think this is my problem anyways.  They checked in some rather large
files at one point, and it appears to be consuming several times the
file size during checkout.  It seems to also be related to how many
revisions of the file was made... but it's been a while since looking
at this, and once we found another way to do what we need, we moved
on, so I didn't spend much more time looking at it. :-(
