For me, I can consistently free up 8 GB of memory by quitting firefox after watching youtube videos and getting a performance decrease. Enabling multi-process mode did not help -- it's not the tabs taking up the memory in my case. In other words, I can close the window (not just the tab), the memory is still used, I close firefox, and between the drop in real memory and the drop in swapspace, I recover between 7 and 9 GB. --- Entertaining minecraft videos http://YouTube.com/keybounce
