I can attest to memory eating on Iceweasel. Normally, I use Iceweasel as my normal browser, but on the poor box I have (a 1Ghz p3 Coppermine w/256MiB of RAM) I get this odd problem... It just eats memory like candy, and I don't even /have/ flash installed! Its not plugins its the /rendering engine/ and its /memory management techniques/. I've seen a single instance of FF sit there and eat memory progressively over 4-5 hours if I have 10-30 tabs open (Generally over 5-6 windows). I've seen it eat almost all of my 2GB swap too, which I keep on a flash drive. I'm personally using Midori, a webkit one, at the moment. it doesn't eat memory like the hog that iceweasel is, and on the crappy 8mb gfx card I'm on (laptop), its no problem for me to spare 3 seconds waiting for a page to load. - -- Morgan Gangwere "We are investigating the light at the end of the tunnel" I /dont/ use PGP-Mime because I'm so l33t I read mbox's with cat and less. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJMhmUFAAoJEEURiCSotvJDi44P/jS+7kDMVDSi9kvHRnWqloJC NNIXrzFXh3bMQXeAtDSBLQmCTrDWGsdrUkpcEh3+j0bTx46M5nFLvojU7EqXvVx5 RyLXSMsA9FoYBiiZUIk/rwt2/6F08cQ3gNCAZxRr/eChCWhKkGp2SigQ3B/cNA5L XSiMOO6+mF54hUo4c3t1JN0VOHsWA+6oKZRQwIkzavUmZOUBNsrvMpYecbm5rZI9 rrRQMIWqeP48cDFpL6/M95osYzPp0BM+LsXqVTNmQsAQ4HxQVtzX2deCkNpr4EY9 MEavdJygzk0NSuU0NQ+MuzgiAh3R4xieh2M1xOtifTkASMNZatgghB8ED76fbtVg udOv+IIZ8XFT+D7EAkS6Y7hEmT5PIINl5veOPTrjB1h/eNN9ekX2KJtIa+cpHjFM BUm8koiwQ1N6Z1/rCSgahhbYoDUS2j6aBzo1z6uLpu+TlwBkP4lGwh1Mdch8I6EA /7b37BgWLSYPM4oPWdvDAIEiv3a7pxNrgH6KjpSRaaqyrrNEQuR2TWLvJqrwqklY /sIgrpzWr7EK1jbCNz36TET29onEG6Tc95VDkq2AEl2ZSM2nQCOoGXpo0zx5ypN5 JaKE+/2raq+2mARcqYhC14Z18ligMHXGRL2gJUT72jesX3G6Lr9kMPEGkeGbhcPW d7bFfexcgCYeC2LioaXs =ypFv -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
