OK, but the developers of Mozilla are specialists, too. Why not trust them? Or is nnethercote part of the Mozilla dev team? MemShrink will hopefully just be merged into the core?
- int3 15y agoHe's part of the Mozilla dev team. Memshrink isn't a branch that's waiting to get merged, but an ongoing program to reduce overall memory usage.
- nnethercote 15y agoI'm a Mozilla employee and started MemShrink. I also write about it regularly: http://blog.mozilla.com/nnethercote/category/memshrink/ http://blog.mozilla.com/nnethercote/category/memshrink/. MemShrink has been running since June 2011 and there have been many improvements in Firefox's memory consumption since then; these have shown up in Firefox 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11.
