Guess Safari is programmed to take X percentage of memory, just like Photoshop...

yeah, Safari Web Content seems to me to leak badly. I re-start it periodically (usually by just quitting Safari) when other things need RAM

and i knew that only firefox on win7 is a memory killer...

+1 on lindes

Chrome is sometimes deceptive, because it spans multiple processes. The only thing we can really do with browsers is to keep restarting them

from time to time

or get busy and work on their code so they don't need restarting.

so simo u didnt accepted my frndship request? hmm

ramen_mukherjee: please don't spam my plurk by asking people to accept your friendship request.

ryanlim : i m nt spamming.if u felt so.then i m sorry.and i didnt asked him/her to accept my req.i simply enquired.thats all.i m sry again.

ramen_mukherjee: you can DM someone if you want to ask them a question. plurking OT for personal means is generally bad form.

unless, of course, that's the point of the plurk, which it's not here.

… and _on_ topic, what do you guys have open in your tabs? my mem use in Chrome is far less than that.

i just had a couple of cacti tabs open.

yeah... "some"

lol yea.

exactly 6.6Gb

ryanlim : listen dear.i already said u sorry for that

^^ dear?

hmm using ff on Mac. having far less than what safari is hogging on ur mac

ramen_mukherjee: yes honey. i saw that.

thing is though...is it really "hogging" memory...or is it just using memory that's available?

if there's such a thing as priority for memory, an application could easily release memory for another app with higher priority right?

ionstorm: it was probably just a memory leak.

ryanlim: +1 on memory leak.

unsure about any sort of "Priority Memory" concept in MacOS. iOS sort of has this, in that the system sends apps a message asking that

they release some memory, which they can then do, allowing them to stay around longer... but that's a pretty specific-to-iOS thing.

(though similar thing might exist elsewhere, I dunno.)

mostly, though, the closest thing I know to "priority memory" is implemented with Paging.
