Any fonts you've allocated and not freed?  Only thing I can think of right
off that could be that large...

Free returns the memory to the heap and invalidates the handle.  Discard
returns the memory, but the handle is still valid.  Normally, this is only
used internally for (GL)MEM_DISCARDABLE, where the memory can be discarded
without invalidating the handle.  This can be quite useful for read-only
data that can be retrieved from disc -- in fact, this is how discardable
code and resources are done.  I haven't seen any situations where you
would want to explicitly call Local/GlobalDiscard, since the system should
know better when to throw away memory.
