User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051123 Ubuntu/1.4.99+1.5rc3.dfsg-1ubuntu3 Firefox/1.5 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051123 Ubuntu/1.4.99+1.5rc3.dfsg-1ubuntu3 Firefox/1.5 At the URL in question you can see an analysis for greatly decreasing memory usage of X server and Mozilla Firefox browser by keeping image data in compressed format. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a page with a lot of JPEGs Actual Results: Firefox stores uncompressed bitmaps of all images in memory of the X server. Expected Results: Firefox should have stored the images as JPEGs on the client side. This problem is especially troublesome for thin client computing - with thin clients you can not affort to put 64 Mb or even more RAM in for the X server.
