-because it should not!
says who ? for all we know turbine might be caching internally to gain perforance
anyone complaining about 200mb is macroing to many accounts at the same time 
Says Turbine. They said they can not "reproduce the problem", even though they have read the threads and the PMs and have seen the complaints.
It they said "200MB isn't a problem" that is one thing, but when they said "We can't reproduce the problem" that says 2 things, one being there IS a problem with the program growing 4-5 times what it normally starts out as.

<<< Isn't this problem an expanding one, IE: the longer you stay connected, the more severe it becomes until an inevitable system crash? >>>
Correct. And it's not just Physical Memory usage, those systems that see this issue typically also see near peaked out CPU usage.
But not sure why I am still haunting this thread, I canceled all my accounts tonight . . . habit I suppose.

Why is it a problem?
"Look at the specifics it says on the box: 733 Mhz processor, 256 Mb ram, 32 Mb video adapter, and these are ToD requirements from the Turbine's Box. "
Basing on their own requirements when the game grows that big a pc of the kind of the required one wouldn't be able to play at all.
Even at the start you don't respect the requirements: there are better game, with better graphics out there that take way less resources than AC.

<< Installed Decal and 2 other TPAs: Check (willing to remove and clean registry) >>
Start over and don't install anything else. Sorry of you are unable to play without installing Decal, but I think yo can manage to at least log in and stand there in game.

I can't on my system either. Bot logged in for 48+ hours now, 38MB of memory being used.

I think Maddy is ignoring me and how 2 of my 3 systems are as close to virgins as you can get. That or he is deliberately being obtuse.
[Edit]
BTW, I did do a COMPLETE low level reformat and reinstall of computer #2 over the weekend. Installed Windows Home, installed every single patch from Microsoft, installed Asheron's Call and patched it, AND THAT IS IT ... NO DECAL, NOTHING ELSE.
Guess what?
After 45 min of playing with "Fingers 1.0", it grew to 115 Megs.

Welcome to how Actuarial Science has become used more and more. Where people do a study to see not IF there is a problem, but if it is WORTH THEIR TIME to try to fix the problem.
