In Windows it was paging views. If you used up your (I'm guessing here) cached? memory allowance, you could raise your paging memory up to 1.5 times that.
Must have been a version prior to 3.1

OK, on the system monitor, with GIMP being open and only two 640 x 480 photographs open, it's using 920.8 MiB.
This is a very big chunk. I edited a 12Mpix photo, duplicated the layer twice, and performed half a dozen operations to exercise a bit the undo stack: only got up to 256Mbyte... Is your figure for two pictures freshly loaded, with one single layer, and nothing done on them since the load? Or are we talking about multiple layers, big undo stack, or numerous scripts run?
