Iexplore probably uses less RAM, because half the components are already loaded by your OS when you boot up. So, MS cheats - it is not really comparable. I find it hardly believeably that your Mozilla uses *only* 9 (or was that 22?) MB RAM. My Mozilla uses 60-100 MB of RAM. > Will it become less, what's the goal? It might become less, as the goal of Mozilla 0.9.7 and 0.9.8 is to improve performance and "footprint" (that's how we call the memory usage). So, you might see a decrease in footprint, but I doubt that it will solve your problem, because the imrpovements will probably only be in the area of 30%. I doubt that Mozilla will ever get under 15MB. My only suggestion is that you buy RAM, right now. You already missed a chance in December for very cheap RAM prices, they are currently climbing and will most likely continue to do so. It sounds like a bad suggestion, but today's apps to eat 20 MB easily. > Is it possible to download and install the > Mail/News-App only? No. You can startup only Mailnews by checking the appropriate prefs in Appearance, but that willl not save much. Mailnews uses a lot of Mozilla. > Before I did this, I tried to end Mozilla via the Taskmanager. I > nearly fell off my chair as I saw that it needed 22MB of RAM... > > Was I right in this list? Yes, absolutely. > Is there something about this topic on mozilla.org? Yes, read back on this newsgroup and search on mozilla.org for "footprint". Ben
