Why does PD use so much virtual memory?

    I am running PD on a MacBook Pro 17" 2.16 GHz with 2GB of RAM.

    I have PD set to use 1080 MB of RAM, which is the Maximum Suggested.

    I am running Windows XP, with the entire 1080 MB set to the VM.

    When I look in Mac Activity Monitor, it indicates that PD is using only 302.45 MB of Real Memory, but 1.76 GB of Virtual Memory. This is with Win XP essentially idle.

    Why is PD using more than 1080 MB of virtual memory?

    I am using PD Tweaker. I wonder if that has something to do with it.

    Thanks
