OmniWeb memory usage

Hi folks,

I've been trying to figure out why, with 1.75 GB of RAM, my Mac often 
has 6 or more swap files and hundreds of thousands of pageouts, 
neither of which seems reasonable. In Activity Monitor (sort by the 
memory columns), OmniWeb is the largest RAM hog, claiming 209 MB of 
real memory and 1.10 GB of virtual memory.

I do use the program fairly heavily, opening lots of tabs and closing 
them, switching workspaces, and so on, but at the moment, it has only 
two tabs open. And quitting and relaunching with only a single tab 
open (static page, nothing fancy) immediately consumes 441 MB of VM, 
though the real memory footprint is down to 63 MB.

Are these numbers extreme, or could there be something funky 
happening only on my Mac?

cheers... -Adam
