Perhaps I'm just not pressing it hard enough? However, I have had
Safari open with "a few" tabs for a few days now and haven't seen run
away memory usage. Up until your last post I had assumed this was
probably just a PPC related bug. (Couldn't think of any reason it
would be CPU specific, it just seemed that way from the anecdotes I'd
read).
Have you got a series of steps that one can follow to try to reproduce
this memory leak in Safari 4? If so I might be able to give it a try
in Snow Leopard to see what happens on my MacBook.
Have Activity Monitor running.
Launch Safari.
Note the VM size.
Open a bunch of pages in tabs or windows.
Note the VM size.
Close the windows.
The VM size should drop to nearly what it was the first time you looked.
Continue...
Notice that the VM size makes big increases and only tiny decreases...
Another indication: Enable world leak checking from Safari's Debug
menu. Then see if you get the leak dialog when you close the
windows...
