Can someone read this post and help me understand it better? http://sendreceivereply.wordpress.com/2009/02/28/less-webkit-is-more-webkit/
I'm having a lot of trouble understanding why webkit chews up so much memory. This blog post helped me somewhat, although not enough for me to dig into the code and do the optimizations myself. This guy's basically saying that the way webkit is mapping fonts is inefficient. So much that after their tweaks displaying google.com dropped from using 30MB to only 4MB. That's a huge reduction in memory! I'm not sure if they're contributing this kind of changes back ... I doubt it since it certainly takes more than 4MB to display google.com on the latest nightly builds. Luying
