Re: Firefox memory
by Gordon Hundley at 06:32 06/05/06 (Blogs::Bruce)
I had a siutation where Firefox used enough VM to cause problems. When I killed it it was using 33GB. Although I had ~25 tabs open (a dozen is normal for me), I've had more without issue, so I expect a script went out of control.

Even when its working well, its a bit of a spoiled bastard, and abuses far too much memory. I used to have pre 1.5 versions running for weeks. It gets quite sluggish on this 4GB G5 after only a few days of heavy use with 1.5.

I was quite surprised to see Camino's progress when I checked it out a few weeks ago. At some point I'll get around to setting it up and seeing how it handles.
