Just thought I would sent this out as a conversation piece.

I'am running Linux-Netscape-Navigator 4.76 from ports, on 4-STABLE and 
after reading this article at LinuxWorld:
http://www.linuxworld.com/linuxworld/lw-2000-11/lw-11-netscape6.html

I thought I would have a look at Navigator's memory usage.

Here's a ps output:

Script started on Fri Dec  1 01:52:28 2000
bash-2.04$ ps -aux | grep p   762 
ddavid   762  0.0 32.7 131040 127596  ??  S     9:37PM   3:45.66 
/usr/local/lib/netscape 

First I'm actually surprised it's been running this long, almost 4hr's 
with out crashing on me, but when i had a look at the memory usage, 
like a 128M!!! I'm totally blown away by the amount of memory Netscape 
is sucking away for itself.

Has anyone else ever seen such a thing while using Netscape? I for one 
do not ever recall such an outrages use of memory from any program I 
have run.

Anyways, like I said this just blew me away, and I thought I would 
share my amazement with you all.

Cheers

David
