Finally saw it myself first hand a couple of minutes ago, BF2142 was eating 1.6GB ram and climbing, meg by meg. Same thing happens in BF2. What a piece of crap OS that allows this to happen. Now, granted EA deserves blame as well but I know for FACT this doesn't happen in XP.
The sad thing is that I've read about all sorts of people having their games stutter in Vista as if it's some video card thing and it's not; video cards don't make your swap file go nuts throughout the entirety of a game. I suspect that everyone of these people are experiencing the same memory leak. That being said, I can't find anything among my usual sources about this phenomena. Sure, there's thousands and thousand of articles and forum posts bitching about stutter but not ONE of them address the relatively obvious nature of this issue.
I'm about to ditch this POS os, i've had enough.
