Over the last week, I used Mozilla v0.9.7 for all my browsing tasks, and
I let it ran continuously while doing so.

In those 168 hours (i.e., 7 days), it worked correctly (putting asside
the "usual" rendering glitches already reported here).  Quite a nice job
:)

It looks like the memory caching scheme is broken/unimplemented, or that
something is leaking, though.  The memory cache was supposed to by 4MB,
but according to Theseus, the mozilla process currently uses 115MB of
private storage (plus a bit less that 14MB of shared storage).  The
private storage regularly increased over the time.

Another weird thing is that the .../profiles/me/.../xul.mfl has 40 (yes,
forty) open file handles.  Here is a snippet of theseus ouptut:

001F     0172    00    F:\WARPZILLA.SRC\BIN\MOZILLA\PROFILES\LAFAIX
(FREE)\3WTD91J6.SLT\XUL.MFL //
0020     017E    00    F:\WARPZILLA.SRC\BIN\MOZILLA\PROFILES\LAFAIX
(FREE)\3WTD91J6.SLT\XUL.MFL //
0021     0128    00    F:\WARPZILLA.SRC\BIN\MOZILLA\PROFILES\LAFAIX
(FREE)\3WTD91J6.SLT\XUL.MFL //

The other opened files look OK.

During this testing, I only used the browser part.  I did not touch the
other modules (news, mail, composer, irc client, and such).]

Overall, I think it's quite nice, but the memory part can be a killer if
you don't have plenty of available memory...
