Probably malloc() :)  The native freebsd binary is 10mb!  I might say it runs
extrodinarily faster than the linux or BSDI versions on my P-II/300, mucho
thanks to the Netscape folks for producing this!
 
Also of note in last weeks' PC-WEEK, Netscape was mentioned as saying they
will be shipping thin versions of netscape soon (Just the browser like in the
good ole days, minus email/news/whateverelse) which should be even faster and
smaller..  I cant wait!
