Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
Firefox 3.0.14 under Ubuntu 9.04 uses 794.6 MB for a set of 6 tabs. The
exact same six tabs under Firefox 3.5.3 under XP SP3 uses 172.6 MB. Both
systems are fully up to date. I can see why there might be a
difference, but not one of 4.6 times!
Doing something with this much ram must be a drain on the system
performance one way or another! Perhaps some of this ram could be
released for other uses?
