Hi,
Only Patrick will know whether it's a seasonal cycle 
or a linear trend.

Suddenly the executable requires much less core memory: The same domain size, and even slightly larger nchklev_1 (21 instead of 14), suddenly requires only 6GB instead of 28GB of RAM. Not that I want to complain about that, but I suspect that we made some other mistake somewhere, as most of the changes since December 2009 I found involved additional store directives, so I expected a larger memory footprint with the update. Before we start digging into our configuration, is there any plausible reason for our observation?
