Could someone try this and confirm what I'm seeing...
Make sure none of your swap is being used..start everything you normally would and watch if swap is taken up. Then start Netscape 6 or Mozilla 0.9.X and see if off the bat at least 4M of swap is taken up.
I thought this was a problem with the 2.4.10 .12 and .13 kernels not handling memory allocation correctly, but it appears that Mozilla based browsers are having issues with these newer kernels.
If so..then it should be reported as a bug. Mozilla/Netscape shouldn't go for swap as soon as they are started and ignore the available RAM.
Cheers..and anything thoughts would be welcome.
