Safari Web Content taking 3/4 my RAM?
I have a single Safari tab open, and a subprocess called Safari Web Content is taking 1.5GB of ram.
I don't think there is any flash or anything on the page: http://explosm.net/comics/1949/
Why does Safari need so much memory? My Macbook only has 2GB in total, so everything is crawling. Is this a bug, or by design? I really like Safari and I don't want to have to switch to Chromium, but if Safari doesn't work well on 2GB machines, I guess I have no choice 😟
