If you have too many things loaded up it is keeping part of it on disk so when 
you access things on disk continually it slows things down.

But the actual VSIZE is irrelevant and does not tell you much about the problem 
except as a big picture thing.  What I am trying to say is that the actual 
values and their size don't tell you that much as you have no idea how much if 
that is libraries, and how much user data.

What I would like to see in Safari is the ability to tell Safari to suspend all 
non screen facing tabs (either as an across the board preference or on a per 
tab basis).  In other words, if a tab is not selected in a window, I want to be 
able to have Safari suspend that page until it  becomes selected.  I bet that 
such a feature would "solve" the problems 
mentioned._______________________________________________
