No, it's not. :)
I have trouble, in fact, imagining the set of desktop programs that
would manage to eat 2GB of space, even if they leaked awfully fast.
Seriously, though, there is something pathological in that set of
applications.
At least, unless you mention now that a couple of those applications are
non-linear video editing tools with large videos. ;)
