692052 - Firefox versions 7.01 - 8.0 beta - 9.0a2 fills swap space on this site

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 661304

(Core :: Graphics: ImageLib, defect)

Description

[SamioSeven]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1
Build ID: 20110928134238

Steps to reproduce:

Go to http://na.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/appuntilinux/HTML/a2191.htm#almltitle7370
Simply surf/watch up and down that page (I read that page) and wait.



Actual results:

After a minute or two the swap memory fills up, about 200/350 Megabytes.


Expected results:

Nothing, swap memory shouldn't be used on a fresh started system in that way.

I can confirm this with FF7.01 and Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:10.0a1) Gecko/20111004 Firefox/10.0a1 SeaMonkey/2.7a1

I stopped loading at ~1GB used by Seamonkey and the memory seems to be used by the images.
Opera11.5 doesn't go above ~200MB (full page !).

confirming but this could be a dupe

This looks to be a site with lots of images on it (no dynamic addition of images, etc), which would mean that we can be better on it simply by not holding on to decoded images that aren't displayed.
