Comment on Mountain Lion seems to have addressed the memory management issues in OS X

It's much, much worse for me. Things go into Inactive memory, which is fine, but then it doesn't get freed when it's needed, or else it does so very slowly. So I have 20 MB of Free memory and 4 GB of Inactive and everything slows to an unusable crawl and I have to run `purge` to get my computer to start behaving properly again.
