1)per this page; http://en-us.www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/features/  it states: IMPROVED MEMORY MNGMT: With all new management functions in place, Firefox 3 keeps memory usage under control. The XPCOM cycle collector continuously cleans up unused memory. Plus, hundreds of memory leaks are now remedied.
SMALLER MEM FOOTPRINT: Short and sweet, Firefox now uses less of your computer’s memory while it’s running.
In my task mgr, I am still getting between 85K-130K (thousand) for FireFox. How can I minimize that?
2) Firefox still takes a long time to load and startup-how can I improve that?
Thanx,

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. using too much memory
2. startup is very slow
3.
