'cept netscape, crap though it is, is still not as big VM wise...
(well, memory leaks in NS4 not withstanding)

I don't know how they did it, but both mozilla and galeon (presumably
because of gecko?) have huge VM requirements, which is really
noticable on a laptop with 64MB.. slow slow slow if you've been using
another virtual desktop and switch back to galeon.

how on earth did they manage to make mozilla/galeon even bigger than
NS4?

(going to try konqueror see if it's any lighter)
