Hi, I have read this blog regarding creating/destorying RenderTree http://webkit.org/blog/114/webcore-rendering-i-the-basics/. And I think RenderTree is generated from DOM (after html page is parsed and JS is executed).
To reduce memory usage when user have navigated multiple pages, I am thinking if it is a good idea to * whenever user clicks 'back', detach the whole RenderTree, so that all the memory used by RenderTree is free. Webkit just keeps the DOM/CSS data structure/Javascript context. * when user 'forward' and bring back that page, the RenderTree will re-construct again, based on the DOM which is preserved. I am not sure if this simplifies things too much. I would like to know if such idea is feasible/makes sense? Thank you for suggestions/corrections. _______________________________________________ webkit-help mailing list [email protected] http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-help
