It seems not uncommon for my Safari to take 3 *gigabytes* of memory
after several days of usage.  This is on a laptop with 768 MB of RAM;
unsurprisingly, I have to restart Safari periodically.  And, oh look, I
have to use a third-party payware add-on to get anything at all in the
way of session saving.

The fact that the session-saving gadget (Saft, for those unwisely wishing to
play along at home) must be implemented in an insanely crufty and hackish
way, because that's the only available option, is just food for the hatred.

I'm switching browser Real Soon Now, I promise.
