On this system: FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT #0: Tue Mar 13 22:38:20 EST 2007 i386 running the recent Thunderbird update, I've noticed a interesting and reproducible pattern. Before starting the program, swap (as reported by top) is 360m. Start the program: SWAP: 360m. SIZE: 88.7m RES: 46.5m Open a connection to my newsserver and download message count for ~15 groups (do not open individual groups): SWAP: 810m. SIZE: 697m RES: 182m accompanied by _large_ amounts of disk activity. (I just checked, and thos behavior is repeated under SeaMonkey.) Quit Thunderbird, and return to: SWAP: 342m and the process takes over 5 minutes with more pounding on the disks. This does not feel right; Thunderbird 1.5 did not exhibit this behavior, and it seems unreasonable simply downloading the message count would bloat things up this much. (make.conf and libmap.conf appended, in case something there is causing this.)
