Firefox 3 Ram Usage

[milomak]

Gentoo (Linux) and KDE 4.2 - At least 10 tabs open and 38MB used.

Oh yeah.

EDIT: People should edit their posts to indicate the OS. Different OS have different memory usage techniques. If it is using 90MB in Win95, I would be worried as opposed to the same stat in Vista/Win7. That is because I have read up enough on, say Vista/Win7, to know that they make available to running processes as much memory as is needed (even putting what would be in swap into RAM).

And before my fellow Linux brethren start shouting, KDE does a similar thing. Though (not knowing what sites others are visiting), maybe Linux does the memory management better

Cool, then mine is roughly 50MB. How come all your results are in the 90s?

Could be because of my addons that I have.

Try Firefox optimizer, it works wonders

Where can I get this from?
Every time I click on the free download, the page it redirects to it suspended...

Do you use Firebug? That usually spikes the RAM usage

36MB - 4 tabs, Windows Vista.

Usage also depends on page content. A site like MyADSL will use less than a page like YouTube.

Why optimize it, if it uses 100mb of ram does it really matter? when 1 gb memory is 150 bucks.

Some people have Scrooge employers

EDIT: Congrats on your smoking mate! I need to quite too but the mere thought makes me kringe
