I don't get it. I'm sitting here on too many torrents, waiting for uTorrent to empty it's 512MB of cache and (yeah, too much, I know) while my poor USB harddrive is screaming away and as I watch the pot of Task Manager dwindle away to a boil I notice something. I'm using OVER 2GB of RAM...on XP! wtf? I have 3 MAJOR programs open and a few (maybe like 5) smaller ones, but uTorrent (at about 520-530MB) and my two browsers are eating me ALIVE! IE is at 300MB and Firefox is using over 500MB of RAM! I already know I open way too many windows at once, but after they're mostly shut down, the RAM usage (as measured in the VM Size column in Task Manager) stays up like it's just seen the hottest fox of it's life! What the FUCK? Am I missing something here? Whatever happened to the glory days of browsers using about 100-200MB and NO MORE with about 10 windows (before the tabbed days) open? Is it flash? Youtube? I just don't get it and its really starting to piss me off because the "alternative" browser is worse than the corporate slob. Where do I sign up to be a web browser programmer? I mean I can't code, but I'm sure my doodles in Notepad will be more than adequate. I'll bet I can make 100K+ at it, too! Where have all the cowboys gone, dammit!
