visual studio .net ide : VS05: Resize IDE options dialog & memory leak?

I've only been using 2005 in a real world sitting (actively coding, debugging,
etc for hours at a time) since it RTM'd. There are two nagging things I've
been fighting and meaning to post, just never think of it at the right time
(driving), so here it goes (yes, I searched the group before posting these):

Resize IDE Options Dialog-
When you open the options dialog (Tools|Options), it's not resizeable. This
is find 90% of the time (although I can't see any reason why you would be
required to have it at the set size). There's one case in that 10% that drives
me crasy: setting keyboard bindings. I'm stuck with scrolling through a very
long list of bindable actions, but only a scrolling list that shows 3.5 items
per scrolling page. Is there ANY way to resize the options dialog?

Memory Leak-
Without fail, on 4 different machines, two of which have zero addins installed,
VS.NET acts like it's got a memory leak. For example, today I fired it up
at 5:30a, and by 10a I had to close it down and restart because it was sucking
over 400MB. Later in the afternoon, I had to do it again when I noticed it
was drawing over 350MB. Closing it and going right back to where I was, even
after a few builds and manually attaching to processes, it wasn't over 160MB.
Anyone else experiencing this? Known issue?

TIA for replies,

I also have noticed that 2005 is sucking up memory. I started it this
morning. One project all day, and it is no consuming 760 MB of memory.
Clearly something is up here.
