[python-win32] psyco win32com acrobat ole automation and memory

[Baker, John D, ALABS]

i put together a quick win32com script to walk through a pdf using
acrobat's ole automation & have odd memory usage when using psyco.

python 2.3.4 and acrobat 4 typelib.

With Psyco enabled and I ran this on a very large PDF (5000+ pages), the memory usage exploded to 400M+ before I killed it.

With Psyco Removed, memory use is constant at 6M or so.

Maybe this is normal, but it was a surprise to me.
