[QUOTE="mmoy, post: 90720, member: 9872"] On Windows, I don't run with a page file so if the system's out of physical memory, something will die. When I do performance testing, I need to get the system as quiet as possible as applications or the OS coming in a flushing the cache or causing too many context switches can affect results. So I typically go into the Task Manager and shoot everything that isn't need to run the test. I assume that I will do the same with OSX. Firefox running in the background does use up some CPU time. When you run your cursor over the window in the background, quite a bit of math takes place. I don't think that I'm seeing your memory leak on Firefox but lots of people use Firefox in different ways and I may not be touching the code that's causing the leak. [/QUOTE]
