Hi

When running the GtkEmbedded flavour of Mozilla 0.8
I see the following memory allocations (linux):

When running with 32Mb ram mozilla will allocate about
7-8Mb about half of which is swapped out.

When running with 64Mb ram mozilla will allocate about 15Mb.

When adding an 'mlockall' statement to the code mozilla will
also grab about 15Mb independent of ram size.

Our aim is to maximise responsiveness while keeping a low
memory profile, e.g. run at 7-8Mb of ram useage with a total
32 Mb ram and prevent mozilla from being swapped out.

Could somebody tell me what/where the memory allocation policy
is and whether it can be modified to always be very
economical (as it seems to be when there's little ram)?

(the only thing our browser displays is a flash movie)
