See that process using 0,010t of resident memory? I've never seen the word "teras" of ram used for a single process... :-o
I have occasionally seen some crazy numbers in top, no relation to reality.
I have another tab that Firefox about:performance says it is using 2.33GB of ram. A train information page:
<https://www.thetrainline.com/en/train-times/seville-to-berlin>
I have just loaded it, 28Mb.
And now, approx 90mins later, it has grown to 39Mb.
approx 19:00, 100Mb+.
I don't think the pages "are designed to eat so many resources", it looks more like a memory leak to me. javascript?
Aha, so it grows. Mine was sitting for days, so it grew a lot.
The same page, now 258Mb. It must be a memory leak.
Yes, most pages use scripting of some sort nowdays. I don't know exactly how to find out.
If you want to know, just look at the HTML code - look for <script> tags, and/or meta links to .js files or type="text/javascript". Nice useful thing, that about:performance, I didn't know that one. Not sure if the "Energy Impact" column is very useful, maybe "elapse time" would be better :-) -- Per Jessen, Zürich (6.2°C)
