Re: Firefox memory

there's no argument (well there is, but there shouldn't be). it's a feature, it's not memork leakage. the question is whether it's a sensible feature.

i'd personally say they haven't given it enough thought, or else they have but they made a bad decision.

they could do a lot to reduce memory consumption, eg. by setting a default max cache size based on installed ram rather than a flat '8 pages', and compressing bitmaps stored in cached pages rather than storing them uncompressed... i mean, ffs...

opera seems nice, but i'm already missing bits of FF.
