Sorry if this is off topic, but I thought you guys would best be able
to answer my question. Can anyone explain why browsers such as Explorer
and Safari consume such a lot of VM? I've noticed the OS gets hellishly
sluggish after a while, with lots of thrashing.
I have just copied the following from top:
471 Safari 2.5% 41:38.53 20 644 1580 63.4M 22.7M 46.7M
472M
Why on earth does Safari need 472M of address space? Or is this down to
Java?
This is isn't simply down to Safari - I had the same problem with IE
before that and hoped Safari would fix it. Sometimes
quitting/relaunching improves things for a while, other times it seems
I have to restart the OS. I'm running Jaguar 10.2.3.
