This is using Firefox 1.5.0.1. I had about 4 windows open with dozens of tabs beforehand; I closed all but one window, leaving only 2 tabs. The memory usage dropped by a whopping 20mb.

Having 2 .gif animations (they're from one of Acerbandit's journal entries) showing also caused CPU usage to shoot up, as you can see.

Firefox is a broken program.




Edit: After upgrading to 1.5.0.2 and applying Merv's trim_on_minimize fix the memory issue seems to have improved greatly, but .gif animations still bring it to a crawl, hogging most of the CPU.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

A feature that takes up over 400mb of memory, unchecked, is what I'd call "bloat".

How ya doing, buddy?
