I have used it since it was introduced. I like it a lot, though the memory leaks drive me nuts. I have to shut it eats it all up and my box eventually starts thrashing.
I've not experienced that problem and the box is up 24/7. Regards Sid.
I haven't had any problem like that either.

Hmmm, I wonder if you have more RAM than I do and don't notice it. I only have 256MB and I pretty much have it all used after loading KDE, Thunderbird, Firefox and a few terminal windows.
It doesn't take much swapping to disk before I have some sever performance problems.
I have no doubt as to the Mozilla stuff eating memory. I've stopped and restarted the apps too many times and watched the memory come back.
I have 512M of RAM and lots of stuff running, top showing very little activity and memory useage. This is what free shows total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 514676 505180 9496 0 58012 74508 -/+ buffers/cache: 372660 142016 Swap: 5373724 379708 4994016 You should have at least 512M of swap. I have run an Athlon XP2200+ with 256M RAM/1G swap and there was no noticeable difference, even when compiling a kernel, I had removed 256M RAM to see if memory was the cause of lockups, it turned out to be early 2.6.0-pre kernels, ACPI not waking up the HD from sleep. One of my laptops a P-II 333 with 64M RAM and 400M swap is swap crazy when switching between virtual desktops, the previous one a P-III 700 with 128M of RAM and using the same HD was far more responsive, which is no surprise.
