mozilla 1.5a actually uses more memory to run than 1.4 did.  i posted a picture
of the mem use at http://www.mustanglover.net/pic/mozbug.jpg.  i thought the
idea of newer mozilla builds was to decrease the amount of memory used to run it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start mozilla
2. hit ctrl-alt-delete
3. check mem use

Actual Results:  
noticed a lot of memory being used to run mozilla.

Expected Results:  
cut back the mem usage
