Darn it! Something Bigger May Be Wrong Here

I switched to Flock, and you know what? I dig it! It’s really nice, and it’s got some great features to boot!

However – this is after a day’s work. Know what else slowly swallowed my RAM? Firefox.

I used Camino as well a few days ago, and it produced more RAM than Safari does after a days of work. In fact, it almost brought my 640 MB Powerbook into crawl. Gecko is just big, complex and pretty buggy. I suggest you continue using it, but restart it 1-2 times a day. That's what I do.

That's not true. I use Camino at home, that's Gecko. I don't think it's Gecko core, I think it's when you add XUL.

Its Geckos fault.

No matter what Gui you are using.

One of the reasons why Nokia have choosen Webkit Over Gecko for their phones.
