How much memory do you have? If you have lots of memory then Mozilla seems more happy to make use of it. I use it on two machines, both with 128MB, and Mozilla never gets to that size even after hours of browsing. It seems to reach about 40MB and remain constant. Up until my memory upgrade I used it quite happily on a 64MB machine. I would like to see it smaller, but on 128MB I never see it have much of an impact. The only time I really notice is when I check the memory size on Task Manager or under top on Linux. ian.
