Starting firefox and opening gmail (no other tabs open) is eating up
27.7% of 256MB physical memory
and the VSZ is 189796 - does that represent bits? It is Firefox 1.5.0.3
Does this look normal? I also noticed Firefox will often spike to 90%
or even 99% CPU consumption! Is this also normal? If so it seems bad
design in the OS or application. Is there a reliable way I can limit
the CPU without hurting application peformance too much?
