Public bug reported:
Prep:
Grab myutils from lp:~davmor2/+junk/testscripts
>From xpresser/xp_trial run import myutils
Run it against software center with myutils.statinfo('software-center')
Steps:
1. Open USC give it about 20secs it will level out at about 170 meg
2. Click on an app run myutils.statinfo('software-center')
3. Click on All Software and run myutils.statinfo('software-center')
4. Click on a different app and run myutils.statinfo('software-center')
5. Click on All Software and run myutils.statinfo('software-center')
6. Click on the same app again and run myutils.statinfo('software-center')
My assumption is that the webkit display isn't dropping info once the
page is no longer displayed.
This is good for speed returning to a page but is drastically
increasing the memory footprint of USC when searching through a
selection of apps for a new user not familiar with the application
names.
