19534 - Massive memory usage

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

Description

[Mathieu Fenniak]

Visiting the given url is a very slow process, and one that fills up my 128 megs
of RAM and the majority of my 130 megs of swap space. And that's doing nothing
more than viewing the page and scrolling around.

Rick, we did a lot of work to reduce the amount of memory used by frames
(especially table frames) so the large amount of memory used is probably not
because of tables

Who should get bugs like this?

I'd be greatful if you could spend an hour to try to track down the culprit. At
a minimum, perhaps you could run purify for us?

Marking as REMIND. Until we get SizeOf() handlers for everything we can't yet
tell where all the memory is going.

I doubt it's the frame model, because we just went through and reduced the size
of frames. It likely is content and style

Verified REMIND

REMIND is deprecated per bug 35839.

Viewing and scrolling seems to work fine now.
