Scott, Scott, Scott. It leaks memory badly under linux as well. Mozilla's memory leakage woes go all the way back to when Netscape's company name was Mosaic.

Yes, I meant memory, but when loading a page or reloading it, it temporarily takes up to 99% of my CPU.

Minimizing the app only releases some of the memory (it looks like it gets cut in half). I guess that's not so bad if I just have to minimize it from time to time rather than closing it up and re-opening it.
