It seems that firefox is really hogging the ram lately. Unless it's something else I can't acount for. Right now I have firefox and xmms open in xfce4, and my system is using 740MB of ram. WTF?? I don't know if it's some extension I installed, or some conky script or what, but that seems like a lot to me.

Simply try it out, deactivate all extensions in ff and see the change. 740MB is horror, that cannot be normal!
