I was wondering why my setup in WinUAE is eating a lot of RAM if I mount my real Amiga-formatted CF on it.

I boot to the system with no startup sequence and I am left with 300+KB on a 1MB system, whereas if I mount a directory instead of the CF RDB card I get about 800+KB which sounds about right.

I never noticed such memory leak but before I never tried to do this with a stock A600 alike config. Am I doing something wrong or is this normal?

(WinUAE 2.7.0 btw)
