No, general memory use isn't 4x greater, but it's not hard for certain
operations to run it up to that point. And the overall memory footprint
may fall back after some time. I'm sure that's somewhat dependant on the
Perl implementation and OS.

That shouldn't be difficult to verify, although it's only in some
situations. For the most part, I'd say that performance is on par with
7.6 trunk. Still, it's troubling, and I'd expect it to cause a lot of
problems in the long run.

All in all, I'm beginning to seriously doubt the benefits of
onebrowser. From a user perspective, the idea of a consistent
experience in each of the different user interfaces is certainly
attractive, but at what cost?

The choice of solution for the web interface seems to be a step
backward in several areas. But the thing that I just can't help
wondering is: Why were all the many bugs with Squeezeplay never
addressed until now? For a while we had the mythical "new schema" that
was conveniently tossed out to solve all problems. And then
"onebrowser". How did SqueezePlay ever get to be so broken, and why did
nobody ever honestly try to fix the consistency issues until now?

To me it seems like this great code simplificaton is just going to
cause a lot of different problems, and incur a great deal of interface
inflexibility that should not be there. There must be a better
solution.
