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

Hi Kenny!

In March you already complained about that, but after my very serious
try to help you, you did not even reply to my mail at all.

http://list.opera.com/pipermail/opera-linux/2009-March/009894.html

That's why I doubt you _really want_ any help.

I really don't want to force my help to you, so I'm out. Tho I hope
for you that there are others willing to help you.

Safe paths,
Daniel
