I do not mind using more RAM - efficiently, that is. I have 16Gs. Load the whole cache if you want - as long as my browsing experience is smooth.
Same with games. Very few of them uses more than 2Gs; they keep re-loading the crap from the disk, introducing long load times for no reason. I do not understand why can't they detect the amount of memory available and use it... Would reduce load times a lot, considering that all game data would fit into the memory (most games are 10Gs or less).
Anyway, I do close Firefox once I am down browsing so the memory footprint never gets above 300megs or so (which is far from the 1G you are talking about).
I understand 7.0 already brings some initial improvements in terms of memory usage, and more of those improvements are queued up for the next releases. The truth to that remains to be seen however... |

well you can create RAM drive, install game on it and run it from memory, loading or not, you won't know the difference  |

I know. Just sad, isn't it?
Software today are not designed to utilize all available memory - I hope that will change eventually.

well, it isn't in the browser. Opera 11.1 that I use currently exhibited the same slowdown issue, but it was one in 2 days, whereas FF did it every few hours. I measured system latency (response) and it is fine, no spikes when the problem occurs. I am out of ideas :/ It may be that some site can cause this with lots of monkey coded java scripts, such as eRepublik since that is the only such site that I use and the game is coded by monkeys |
