In all 'my' other forums trollish posts get deleted instantly, and if the poster does it a second time, he's banned for good. There it's a much nicer and safer atmosphere, and I always regret that here everyone is instead allowed to play Rambo, run amok and (virtually) shoot over and knock down and kick and jump upon other completely nice and helpful members. Who extremely aggressively attack others without any reason. But that's perhaps the price for a forum that's open to everyone without subscribing, incl. all sorts of jerks :( And with no admin (=forum owner) around anymore. But just glad there are still some very nice people holding through, no matter what :-)[/quote]

Sorry to reopen this old post.  For what it's worth, I'm a big fan of K-Meleon.  While I'm not ready to abandon the use of other browsers on my system yet, I believe and hope that one day in the future I will be able to.

I think having an open forum, i.e.  uncensored and not requiring registration to post is very valuable to users like myself who like to see the unbiased opinions and experiences of others using KM.  If you were to simply muzzle the users who have a problem that would be a big dis-service to us all.  That being said, I don't think flame wars or rudeness is necessary to get one's point across.  I hope the administrators and moderators will keep this in mind.

I haven't done my own testing on this issue but I have noticed similar behavior on my system (1.53) where in some instances KM will use and retain a large chunk of memory after heavy browsing for many hours with a massive amount of tabs open.  As others stated, the memory is returned upon the closing of KM, but at least for me, minimizing KM did not release any memory.

KM still uses a lot less memory than FireFox in a similar situation.

I haven't tried to upgrade to 1.54 yet.  I don't use AdblockPlus for KM, but I do use GreaseMeleon and a few scripts, so this may be the culprit.  I realize that GreaseMeleon is probably outdated and not supported, but as far as I have found, it is the best and only way to make _some_ scripts work.  Unfortunatly some don't work at all.  This memory issue does not happen quickly, it takes quite a while to manifest itself.  I will try to make some time to test more and report my findings, but it's a complex scenario that has many variables, so I'm not sure when or if I will be able to come to any conclusions regarding memory usage/retention.  Please don't get the wrong idea - I post here to hopefully help other users - not to complain.[/quote]
