I've noticed that if I open multiple tabs in iceweasel, firefox-bin bloats
significantly, but xorg bloats ENORMOUSLY.  I mean, it bloats from 200 megs
or so to 1.7 gigabytes of RAM footprint.  Three times now, after very large
numbers of tabs were open in iceweasel (like 100), xorg has crashed.

I know little about low-level X stuff.  Is there a way to prevent one app
from bloating xorg so much?
