Those are very old links.  I would suggest looking at 
bugzilla.mozilla.org for memory leak.  These bugs are usually indicated 
by a mlk keyword.  I would also love someone to look at what kind of 
resources we are using in gtk/X11 including our handling of images.

Also, if you have time, measure the bloat over time.  You can do this by 
watching the proc file system over a repeatable run of webpages.

Yes, I would agree that 13 mb is huge for some embedded systems.  Minimo 
is for machines with at least 32mb of RSS.  more and more devices are in 
the space or better.  Anything less, you aren;t going to have a true 
browsing experience -- you are going to have something that is basically 
another wap browser.

Hope this helps.
