mozilla - 5 processes using 149Mb



Vital stats: Pwer Macintosh 7600/200MHz/64Mb running Woody.

Mozilla 0.9 seems a bit of a hog.  (This is build 2001052403 downloaded
from Ethan's penguinppc repository.)

Typing "mozilla" at the command line seems to cause 5 separate processes
to be started, taking in total 149Mb of memory (accorting to gtop).
Given that I only have 64Mb of real RAM and 50Mb of swap it doesn't take
much to end up thrashing the disk and an unusably slow experience.

Is this right?  It never seemed to do this when I was running potato...

P.S. I could obviously

1) stick to Lynx
2) buy more RAM
3) get a faster machine

but that's far too obvious!
