That usually happens when a page is 'busy' (or has hanged, or is dowloading
slow,
etc). I've noticed that the problem is much worse with 4.51 than 4.08. I also
think
that 4.08 is more stable than 4.51, and it isn't quite as bad with hogging
memory.
It seems to me that 4.51 has a pretty sever memory leak, as it will continue to
consume memory on my machine (the most I've seen it eat is 87MB !!!!!!!!!), and
will
not let ANY of it go until the whole process is terminated. With 4.08 the
problem
isn't as bad. It seems to ramp up to 30-50MB pretty quick, but doesn't seem to
go
above that, and will even occasionally release some of it.

the one thing that keeps men ahead of them.
