<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Same experience. In past
years BDS 2006 (Delphi IDE) and Firefox v2 were slogging system
performance witn slow memory leaks over several hours. D2007 and
Firefox 3 are big improvements there.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Plus on Vista with 4GB memory I never
seem to get above 2.6GB memory in use anyway, so it no longer
matters.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>I am never sure of the various Task
manager Process Explorer memory measurments as they are all so
different:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>For instance:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>BDS.EXE (D2007) memory= 83M

Size=469M </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>(after being open for some
days)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Firefox (3.6 beta 60 tabs open)
memory= 220M (Task Manager Memory), Process Explorer Working
set=171M, Virtual Size=556M </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>(open for a day or so)</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Firefox memory leaks over time are
largely thought to be largely from such as flash and other stuff on open
pages.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>From my observations the BDS
memory usage comes from just repeating the edit/compile/run/debug process over
many hours. In my case D2007 has been open for some days at least, so I am
not complaining. D5 seems to to similar after being hammered for a
day.</FONT></DIV>
