Memory leak

[The eye of the storm]

I've seen several topics here about the hugh memory leak in PR 1.0, I found out that this is a problem on all mozilla based browsers, and based from what I read in the topics is a problem which has allways existed, only in the last release it got bigger. "close the browser and restart" is a solution that is given quite too much, it solves the problem but then again for just 10minutes.

yep. im using 0.8 until the problem is adressed and fixed or atleast resolved to 0.8's level of efficiency (or acceptable inefficiency i suppose) . 0.93 was unbareable. i cant imagine what pr1xxxx is like

Im using v1.0 on Linux/KDE. I had horrible memory issues until I edited that user .js file (in my case usr/libexec/firefox/grepref/all.js) and set
pref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", false);
to
pref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", 8192);

Now My memory usage never seems to go above that limit!

isnt cache memory virtual memory on the hard disk? otherwise i would have set that a long time ago..
