[dba-Tech] Opera memory usage

The odd part is that the memory climbs for every gif on a page etc.  If I
close that tab and reload the SAME PAGE, the memory climbs again as the gifs
reload.  So much for caching.  :(

Wow, you are so right, I hadn't really noticed that, but if I open about 
12-15 tabs my memory usage for firefox will surge up about 50megs, (i've 
yet to see it go over this amount.) but when I begin closing the tabs, I 
have seen firefox yield about 10 megs but it won't go lower than that 
unless another program is opened.
