My GDI's with explorer and True Launch Bar running start at under 400 and rise to around 1450 after opening all menus and stay that way. Opening menus after reaching the maximum of menus will not add to GDI's anymore. 
However, I did notice that whenever a window is opened (My Computer, Control Panel, etc.) GDI's go up and when the window is closed, it adds one GDI to the total. For instance, if there are 1466 GDI's and I open My Computer, it goes to 1526. Closing My Computer returns it to 1467. Each time a window is opened and closed, there is a net gain of one GDI which will eventually add up when many windows are opened and closed. :0
I never tried this with previous versions so I do not know if this is only with 2.2.0.8a or with others too. ???
