[comp.windows.ms] Clogged memory in 386 enhanced.

Has anyone noticed that when running win 3.0 in 386 enhanced
mode that memory gets dirty and does not get cleaned up after
closing an application?

Here's my scenario:

I have a 386-25 with 2 megs of ram and a 40 meg HD.

I open turbo C in a dos window and start editing my source code
and windows does not slow down at all. ( i.e. - no disk swap yet).

I open another application which requires my disk to start swapping,
now  I close that application and go back to use turbo C but it is
now swapping to disk making even simple text editing a tedious chore.

Any similar experiences? A bug maybe?
