I appreciate your attitude. I've worked on bug reports for Firebug
memory problems many times. A couple of times I've found and fixed a
problem.  But the cost/benefit ratio is way out of whack. For some
reason memory problems in particular are reported with great
indignation and very little in the way of facts. I have to go back and
forth for a long time to get a test case. Then lots of times the
problem is actually in the application, eg it loads images in a loop
or something. If I find and fix a bug, I never recall anyone verifying
that Firebug was better for them afterwards.

But I don't want anyone to take this as a sign I would not try again.
Rather it's the opposite: if anyone wants to put the effort into a
test case for a memory (or CPU problem), I'll work on it right away. I
just don't to complain about leaks then not follow up with facts.

So SwordDragon, you say you can reproduce these problems. How?
