To see how many KB each page is I did a "File", "Save Page As" and then just checked how many KB the html and all the other files used. Then I set five tabs with five pages to refresh automatic, wrote down the time and the amount of used KB. After a couple of hours the amount of used RAM was nearly twice of the expected amount. Actually I think the amount is quite close to twice the expected amount of RAM since the refresh isn't that accurate. If I set a page to refres every two minutes then it doesn't refresh 30 times in an hour but only 27-28 times (I think this is because the two minutes is calculated from when the page is fully loaded). -- Kim Ludvigsen
