HELP: Safari 6.0.4 Ram consumption

I'm on Mountain Lion 10.8.3.

Since I did update to Safari 6.0.4, browsing on Facebook causes an increase in the consumption of Ram.

In fact, the system monitor indicates that the Safari Web content is about 10Gb. My max memory is 12GB.

Everything slows down the operating system and to solve the problem I have to close and reopen Safari, but after a few minutes the situation is the same.

It seems that it only happens with Facebook, at the moment I do not think happens with other sites.

HELP!

Thank you.

Hello:

If the problem is localized to Facebook, I suspect that Facebook (not Safari) is the problem.

some safari extensions can cause a similar problem - Turn them off in Safari-Preferences-Extensions & test. Failing that - test in a new or guest user account on your mac.
