[Opera-Linux] OK, what can I do about Opera's never-ending thirst for memory?!

[Daniel Eckl]

Hi Kenny!

In March you already complained about that, but after my very serious
try to help you, you did not even reply to my mail at all.

http://list.opera.com/pipermail/opera-linux/2009-March/009894.html

That's why I doubt you _really want_ any help.

I really don't want to force my help to you, so I'm out. Tho I hope
for you that there are others willing to help you.

Safe paths,
Daniel
