Appears to be caused by the fig merge -- not surprising and nothing to get excited about!

It seems that the fix bug 904172 got us back to normal RSS-wise. See:

http://graphs.mozilla.org/graph.html#tests=[[136,63,29]]&sel=none&displayrange=30&datatype=running

Given that this is a fig-specific fix, I'd say there's a fair chance this patch actually fixed our main source of regression somehow. To be very honest here though, it's not entirely clear why the patch fixed the regression. It pretty much caches the measured dimensions of about:home's top bookmarks grid. Maybe the extra layout rounds on the grid was creating extra memory usage (something related to the thumbnails?).
Geoff, thoughts? It seems like the regression has been fixed by the patch mentioned above. Do you feel like we should do further investigation before closing?
Flags: needinfo?(gbrown)
I don't have a strong opinion. 

Certainly there was a significant improvement on Sept 9/10...but did that address the cause of the regression, or was it an independent improvement? And is it worth investigating? It's up to you.
Flags: needinfo?(gbrown)
Given that the code in question was added as part of the initial code landing, I think the improvement is not independent.
