リリースを重ねてFirefoxはだいぶ速くなってきましたが、それでも、メモリを大食いするところはなかなか変わりません。 いくつかの設定値を変えることでメモリ使用量を減らし、スラッシングを抑えることができます。
セーフモードで起動すると軽い場合は、いくつかの使用を削除すると 軽くなります。

In those days, I thought, golly, there are zillions of bug tracking packages
out there. Every programmer has written a dinky bug tracking package. Why
would anyone buy ours? I knew one thing: programmers who start businesses
often have the bad habit of thinking everybody else is a programmer just like
them and wants the same stuff as them, and so they have an unhealthy tendency
to start businesses that sell programming tools. That's why you see so many
scrawny companies hawking source-code-generating geegaws, error catching and
emailing geegaws, debugging geegaws, syntax-coloring editing tchotchkes,
ftping baubles, and, ahem, bug tracking packages. All kinds of stuff that only
a programmer could love. I had no intention of falling into that trap!
Of course, nothing ever works out exactly as planned. FogBUGZ was popular.
Really popular. It accounts for a significant chunk of Fog Creek's revenue and
sales are growing steadily. The People won't stop buying it.

<rooneg> weird, mine and jack's come out way too fast with this
player... but the others all work fine.
<rooneg> and after hearing them all, i have two thinigs to say: first,
it must be really amusing hearing that stuff randomly
throughout the day in the office, and two, cmike spent far too
long on his ;-)
<sussman> rooneg: yours and jack's got corrupted
<sussman> cmpilato goofed when converting from mp3 to ogg
<sussman> he's gonna fix it, tho
<rooneg> cool
* rooneg considers filing a critical issue about the problem ;-)
<sussman> heh
<rooneg> obviously this will block any 1.0 release
<sussman> indeed.
