Just had a look at 'top' here, and was astonished by its output: |

The first bunch of firefox is from someone else using my machine as well |
| 13 |
(wonders of LTSP). I was deeply intrigued on what that user is loading on |
| 14 |
her firefox, and went to her machine to have a look. |
| 15 |
There's nothing special there, though. It's just firefox with 4 tabs open on |
| 16 |
small and simple pages. |
| 17 |
The second bunch of firefox is mine. I have it loaded with like 15 tabs, |
| 18 |
java applets and so on. I'm also using quite a few extensions. |

I can't understand how firefox evolved from small and fast phoenix to this |
| 21 |
memory hungry beast that has a virtual space of half a gigabyte. |
| 22 |
I mean... even IE doesn't seem to eat all this memory. In fact, I have seen |
| 23 |
very few processes eating that much memory. |
| 24 |
Here is what I have: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
[ebuild R ] www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.0.7-r3 -debug +gnome +ipv6 +java |
| 27 |
-mozcalendar -mozdevelop -moznoxft -mozsvg +truetype -xinerama -xprint |
| 28 |
|

Can someone shed some light on this? |
