Probably a difference is how inactive memory is tallied.

Something seems wrong here...

It's only using 13MB for me, although I only have one image
mounted at the moment.  Mounting a couple more produces two
more instances of it, at 13.7MB and 11.8MB.  The disk image
sizes are 7.0MB, 238.8MB, and 235.2MB.

Mine is 4.01GB, with MailMate, Safari (many windows), Terminal,
and Activity Monitor running.  Roughly 2.5GB of that is eaten at
startup by all the various extra junk I've added.

Mine is four days, and 8GB.
