Note that it involves closing existing tabs, and then reopening back to the same number. This is different from opening a tab (up to a new "record" number of tabs) and then closing it. FF is (probably) using a memory allocation scheme whereby memory doesn't get freed when it is no longer used, but retains allocation and reuses it when it is convenient. I'm not sure I agree with this as a design decision, since memory allocation afaik isn't particularly expensive, and I agree that firefox seems to leak memory, in that it is *common* to end up with an FF process with a 200MB VM space. But I don't know that your tests show this. -- Clear skies, Justin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
