Mozilla memory leak

[Michael Hipp]

Thanks, Lonni. But I'd like to better understand this.

Am I misreading the output of px aux in that the 9.2 numbers are not
additive. In other words, the first one is true, all after that are
essentially a lie (a false reflection of the first)?

Opera:
root      3975  3.3  4.5 19240 11752 ?       S    09:12   0:00 opera
root      3976  0.0  4.5 19240 11752 ?       S    09:12   0:00 opera

Konq:
root      3981  2.7  7.3 29316 18836 ?       S    09:13   0:01 kdeinit:
konquero

Are these numbers real? If not, is there some tool that shows a more
useful presentation of *actual* memory/resource usage?

Konq is a half-finished browser. I want to adopt Mozilla as my standard.
But based on above, I'm warming to Opera more all the time.

Willing to be educated,
Michael
