Well I can assure that it is the new "standard" on new 
machines. And I should have mentioned older machines in my 
previous message.

Mozilla/NS6 is a nearly complete and ambitious rewrite of 
the code from the ground up, so even though they are both 
browsers, there isn't that much more in common between 
Netscape 4.x and Mozilla/NS6. I guess you can say that this 
is the growing pains of development with the new code. But 
as I stated, in time memory issues will be addressed.
