I am still having this problem. I tend to have open the same group of  
a dozen web pages (a couple of which automatically reload), and my  
memory usage increases over 500% over the course of a few hours, and  
then Camino eventually crashes. It causes my machine (2x2.5 G5, 2.5  
GB Ram) to really bog down. I also see the problem on my MacBook Pro.

This behavior is making Camino a hassle to use. Does anybody else  
notice behavior like this? And is there anything that can be done  
about it?
