Hi,
On my Dell P4 3.06Ghz, 1.2GB RAM (1GB swap), Nvidia Go5200 and with shiny
suspend2-sources-2.6.15-r5, modular xorg-server with only firefox-bin,
thunderbird and a terminal opened on top of KDE I got my resources
exhauested in one day.
I left the computer open and left home (no background processes doing
nasty things or anything like that) and when I got back pmap on X shows this:
Address Kbytes Mode Offset Device Mapping
08048000 1528 r-x-- 0000000000000000 016:00009 Xorg

.....

I assume the [anon] block comes from nvidia. For a firefox-bin with 8-10
open tabs and a thunderbird, that is way too much memory eaten and
quite frankly I have no idea where that comes from.
Any suggestions would be nice, since I don't want to restart my
X server every two hours.
Would installing firefox from sources make any difference, if
it's firefoxes fault that is ?
Thanks,
Catalin
