Netscape has lots of memory leaks. the worst seem to be in Javascript, with
java being a close second. I find I get the best performance and stability
out of it if I leave those off, except when you need them. I also keep the
memory cache size small, 2 or 3 megs; I leave the disk cache at a large
size, since I am behind a slow link. The FreeBSD buffer caching does a good
job of not throwing stuff away that I am actually using, so that works out
quite well.
