I am not using the tabs things. Switching between windows are nightmare.
Maybe tabs are a lot better.

Yes, I am gonna get 128MB more. But the fact is if IE5.5 under win2k and
netscape 4.77 under linux2.2.19 run fine with 64MB, 128MB should not be
a requircy. Since web browsers are the most memory hungry beast on my box.

You do notice that 91MB swap was used. When it starts swapping with 90MB,
It gotta be slow. And normally, mozilla and relatives are the
only things that cause swap in that scale.
