System cache filling up with Gimp AppImage

Code:

print gimp.image_list()  # Raw
print "\n".join([str((i.ID,i.name)) for i in gimp.image_list()]) # Clean

And see if you can relate all the output with open images.

Thanks for the great suggestion, Ofnuts.  I ran the commands and all the images that I had open matched the output.  I think I'm probably overdoing it with Gimp with the amount of memory I have.  Sometimes I might have 8 or 9 10-20mb images open and it's probably just too much to ask.

It may be time to order some more RAM. 

Then again, it may not have anything to do with Gimp at all. Last night, I copied a simple 4.7GB folder full of FoxClone image backup files over to a flash drive and that too also ate up every bit of available memory and wrote about 1MB of information to the swap file before finally completing.
