Mozilla memory leak

[Net Llama!]

First, those processes are threaded, and each is spawning another.  They
are not 6 separate process threads.  This is partly what allows you to
"multitask" with Mozilla, rather than the brain dead way that KMail does
things.  So, its not really using that much of your memory.

Secondly, show me a web browser that doesn't suck up alot of system
resources?
