this seems to be caused by a process called Browser, which absorbs over 5GB of memory. That ups the load of my laptop to over 5 because of the swapping that is happening. What is this process and why does it take so much memory? My computer is unusable when this happens, in that sense it is a high priority bug.

Sometimes after some time there is a message about an irresponsive script. Mostly after waiting a lot of minutes and closing firefox it works again. I do not have this problem on other machines or other os'es. Don't seem to have the problem in Chromium either.
