Re: [orca-list] orca performance oddity

[kendell clark <coffeekingms gmail com>]

hi
When closing seamonkey orca's memory usage settles to about half of what
it was, around 56 mb versus 107. When I open seamonkey back up on the
homepage it starts to creep back up again but doesn't jump all at once,
so I'm not sure what's causing it.
Thanks
