No Resource Leak!

Hey all,

I just downloaded Silly Dog's version of Netscape 7.1. I then opened up 20 tabs in netscape and watched my resource meter. It still stayed in the green area, in fact barely dropped. I'm using Windows ME. If users on windows 9x are supposed to be suffering from a major resource leak, why do I not have this problem? Or am I supposed to have more than 20 tabs open? I didn't do any memory cache tweaks or anything (as suggested for work arounds). Any thoughts?

 

Hi Kevin,

This is what the Mozilla guru's have to say:

Anything that uses/implements Win32 GDI handles has the potential to exhibit this bug. The main reason Win 9x sees it most is because there are a lot of users, but mainly because it takes far less time for the problem to occur due to Microsoft giving those versions of Windows such a small space for GDI to work in. Win NT, 2K, XP and XP 64bit all suffer from the same problem, it just takes longer to see it due to them having a bigger space for GDI to work in.
