Hi, |

On my Dell P4 3.06Ghz, 1.2GB RAM (1GB swap), Nvidia Go5200 and with shiny |
| 4 |
suspend2-sources-2.6.15-r5, modular xorg-server with only firefox-bin, |
| 5 |
thunderbird and a terminal opened on top of KDE I got my resources |
| 6 |
exhauested in one day. |
| 7 |
I left the computer open and left home (no background processes doing |
| 8 |
nasty things or anything like that) and when I got back pmap on X shows this: |

I assume the [anon] block comes from nvidia. For a firefox-bin with 8-10 |
| 19 |
open tabs and a thunderbird, that is way too much memory eaten and |
| 20 |
quite frankly I have no idea where that comes from. |
| 21 |
Any suggestions would be nice, since I don't want to restart my |
| 22 |
X server every two hours. |
| 23 |
Would installing firefox from sources make any difference, if |
| 24 |
it's firefoxes fault that is ? |
