[erlang-questions] Understanding memory usage

[Ward Bekker (TTY)]

Hi,

I run into high memory usage (>1.5GB) when running `crack_util:crack` from this module: https://gist.github.com/4642789 (make sure crypto is running: `crypto:start()`). As far as I can see, it's not creating (or holding on to)  huge pieces of data.

Why is that?
