Ok, so I've just gone from 2.3 to 2.4 & have a BIG problem.
Under 2.3 I had about 50% more RAM showing as available at idle.
This is causing big issues for me, due to lack of available RAM.
What is causing the "memory chewing"? Can I turn something off, or should I just go back to 2.3?
PZ.
Maybe it has to do with enhanced display settings and multibuffering. If that's it, you should disable double/triple buffering in prefs->display engine. But I'm not really convinced about that extra usage, anyway.
About OWB1.5, it actually requires less memory (and some leaks were fixed, too), and additionally, it also avoids crashing in a few low-memory conditions cases (not all of course, since webkit is hopeless about that).
