Mopping Up Mozilla Memory Leaks

mouseman writes "Geodesic Systems, a maker of memory management/debugging software, has a live demo of their Linux product running on the Mozilla nightly builds. It's pretty damn slick -- it detects memory leaks and can show where in the code the leaked memory was allocated and actually recover (GC) the leaked memory. The Mozilla reports actually look pretty good, which jibes with my own impressions of how much it has improved -- see for yourself."

Open Source gives back

[Anonymous Coward]

This is a great example of the Open Source community giving back to private companies. Geodesic tests an OSS web-browser, and Slashdot stress-tests their web server.

memory leaks, moz, and slash

I know that when I have moderator status here on slash, I can watch the system resources disappear down a block hole if I hit a story with a lot of comments and I use Moz.

You can hear me screaming down the street.

It is a little better under IE, but I prefer to use Moz.
