I tried to build seamonkey or firefox with mozilla-jemalloc option
without sucess.
I wanted to try with the built-in jemalloc, for see it is better
integrated and reduce usage of memory.

I also disabled the flash plugin in the past(in preferences, I didn't
uninstall it). I didn't obtain big gains on memory use.


Now I am writing this mail from a  Windows XP, with 61 tabs. Task
manager reports 771 KBytes after of 2-3 days since Seamonkey was
started. The growth seems more slower to me that in my NetBSD system.
