Re: [orca-list] need explaination why orca stop speaking when application is not responding

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel panix com>]

I suspect firefox and thunderbird both need a check for memory leaks 
followed up by visits from the Damage Control Team.
Any software used in an accessibility context needs this done regularly 
due to different memory configurations on different hardware; 
accessibility software in use has its own memory costs too.  Graphical 
user interface software is especially sensitive due to larger memory 
costs for the interface; the accessibility software, and accessible 
packages used with the accessibility software.  None of this takes into 
account probable malware in systems either.
