Submission + - Firefox Memory Hogging Is Due to Fragmentation (pavlov.net)
A beautiful mind writes: It has been long claimed by users that Firefox leaks memory, and on the other hand the developers claimed the number of leaks are minimal. It turns out both groups were right. Stuart Parmenter, one of the authors of the RAMBack extension started investigating and found out that the issue is memory fragmentation.

The rest, a whopping 13,881,800 bytes, is in free blocks!"
