Rogan,

   If they both use the same crude and inefficient memory management
algorithms, it makes sense that they'd be equally bad. Rarely do I have more
than 3 or 4 tabs open simultaneously, so I probably don't notice the
problem.

   What tool displays the memory use of a single application? Top shows only
those most active processes, and mmap appears not to be on this system
(although the man page is).

Thanks,

Rich
