Certainly y'all are seeing this, too?! No. My operas are: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 5382 eirik 20 0 1156m 246m 10m S 0.7 25.2 513:21.53 opera 3135 eirik 20 0 524m 94m 9884 S 0.3 9.6 158:40.01 opera (Both of them opera 9.62, both have probably been running for a month or two... One of them have way too many tabs open (though only about 40 right now), and who knows how many tabs in the garbage can.) However, I have family (on windows) who have been complaining for years that opera eats up about as much memory as it can (i.e. around 3GB) after a couple of hours. Sometimes leading to a complete system crash. It is tempting to guess that it may be related to exactly which pages are being viewed. Since this is linux, I guess we can assume that it is not plug-ins that are leaking (since they aren't running in the same process. Except java, which isn't a "plug-in"). eirik -- Opera-Linux: https://list.opera.com/mailman/listinfo/opera-linux More lists: https://list.opera.com/mailman/listinfo/ Unsubscribe: mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
