I am not sure why the minimized window reports so little - maybe the
memory was swapped to disc and the task manager fails to count it. I
don't know, seems weird (it is certainly using more than 788k).
The memory usage in turbo mode is intentional, I believe. The purpose is
to force Windows to keep the code loaded in memory so that when you
"start" the browser it is really fast (it no longer needs to load any code).
