I don't have any number at hand about 4.7 memory usage, but I would be very
careful to make any predictions on how much memory Mozilla 1.0 will use. It
will be leaner than it is now, that's for sure, but please don't expect
wonders. It will only hurt Mozilla's reputation if we promise something we
can't keep. Footprint optimization will continue, but for comparison with
4.x you should keep in mind that Mozilla has much better standards support
than 4.x. That doesn't excuse bloat, of course.
