looking at?

Hi,
This is just a simple and honest question.
I have rebuilt Firefox and Thunderbird with jemalloc disabled and
linked to libumem.
I am not sure if the behaviour is related to adjusting
layout.frame_rate=24 or the memory alloc but Thunderbird seems less
"bloated".
Any experience?



(the underlying question being about memory fragmentation and such)
