Attached patch PatchSplinter Review
The problem is not with "JS objects accessed in wrong thread" or "TabsTray". I narrowed down the problem to allocation of "ArrayListIterator" and "Rect" in TileLayer.java. The number of objects created for tab switching increases very fast, causing all background processes to be killed by android one by one. This can be seen in the logs. Once android runs out of heap (even after killing background processes), it eventually kills the Fennec application. The GL layer needs to be optimized to fix this issue. Also, I've optimized TabsTray to use less memory when shown. The OnClickListeners are reused between each row in the list. To ensure the selected tab is in bold, the view needs to be read from XML every time a row is created. This is a bottleneck. Though this can cause memory issues, I didn't find any with it in AllocationTracker in DDMS tool -- mostly because the number of list entries is minimal and the lifespan of TabsTray is small (also GC is called once activity finishes). Bug 704162, bug 704232 are all related to the same issue of "switching tabs". Bug 704575 is tracking the dirty rectangle problem.

Comment on attachment 576229 [details] [diff] [review] Patch These changes look good and if they save some memory, we should do it. The changes are not insane.
