Curiosity got the best of me:
Win 2KPro Sp1:
After browsing the same 20 or so web pages:
IE5:
13,032K
Moz: 23,934K (before opening the mail client and subscribing to
Newsgroups)
Moz: 41,234K (after closing the mail client)
Moz: 44,572K (after re-opening the mail client, downloading
newsgroups and posting this message -- AND growing - now 45,432K)
Moz nightly for Win32 from 5/3/01.
The mem usage numbers were copied from Windows' Task Manager.
Looks like JTK's got a point, eh?
