OK, what can I do about Opera's never-ending thirst for memory?!

Seriously- if there's some way for me to determine (the maps in /proc/, what?) WHY Opera (any version, I'm currently running the latest Beta) uses SO MUCH <insert expletive here> MEMORY, I'd love to know. Y'all have gotten it SO stable that it never crashes anymore (seriously!) and even Java and most plugins work, but I end up having to periodically shut it down 'cause once it grows to over a VM of *NINE* GBs, and 3GB in-core, it sucks up all the swap (so I can't suspend) and just bringing another process to the front takes forever as its pages are brought back in. I do use Opera on several sites full of pictures and such; and open and close a bunch of windows. Is there any setting I can set to maybe make it use less memory? I've got "Memory Cache" set to "Automatic", but changing it to something else didn't seem to help much. This is the 64-bit Qt3 shared version, BTW. -Kenny -- Kenneth R.
