as far as I can remember, yes, but there are 2 differences, it is not in the way memory in windows as it is "kernel paged pool", and it is also not 1MB/minute, it's about 1/10th 1/20th of that. also sometimes in windows it does not do that at all, practically, emule runs about 2 weeks before all memory on the system runs out, while on linux only about 8/12 hours with same amount of memory
