I have tried to reproduce the problem as well but my Xorg's memory usage stayed constant (about 50M), iceweasel's memory usage went from 180M to 900M during the test. I used a periodic ps invocation to get the data pasted to http://paste.debian.net/plain/7070, this was the peak output: -- 28.05.2013 - 16:07:01 up 43 min, 4 users, load average: 1.51, 0.85, 0.58 -- COMMAND C %MEM VSZ RSS Xorg 3 0.9 166480 58300 iceweasel 53 15.2 1714556 931832 I am using Debian 7.0.0 "Wheezy", Iceweasel is from Experimental. Window Manager: Fluxbox, xcompmgr enabled. Graphics Driver: Debian-packaged Nvidia non-free. It seems not to depend on Iceweasel and Debian alone ... as already mentioned by someone else, graphics drivers and such certainly also influence the result.
