There is really only one issue: Does Mozilla leak memory?  If yes, then 
periodicly closing frees that memory.  Else don't bother yourself.  I, 
myself, don't user -turbo.  I close it and reopen as needed.  I don't 
see great delays in starting and I am using a K6-2 400.  The throughput 
of the hard drive is the load time consideration item.  7200 rpm disks 
make the issue moot, if the user has enought memory.  Thanks for asking.
