On Tue, Oct 31, 2006 at 05:21:00PM +0100 I heard the voice of Alexander Leidinger, and lo! it spake thus: > Quoting Poul-Henning Kamp <phk@phk.freebsd.dk> (from Tue, 31 Oct 2006 > 08:53:08 +0000): > > > >It certainly correlates with firefox, but restarting firefox does > >not relieve the memory pressure. > > FWIW: On Solaris I also see firefox eating memory.

I see that too, though it doesn't seem to cause any slowdowns here. My X server has a 'size' of 568 meg, but only 120 meg resident. It's been running since I booted in June, and Firefox has bloated itself into oblivion and been restarted a number of times since then. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
