Commit history: how high normally & what is it?
f0dder:
"Unused memory is wasted memory" :) - sure, you shouldn't go overkill and be a sloppy programmer, but it make sense for a webbrowser to keep page cache in-memory for fast back/forward, caching of images for re-use, et cetera.
Imho, FF3 isn't bad at all :) (and keep in mind you should look at "private bytes" or "working set private" figure, not "virtual size" or the "total working set").
tomos:
Well, 1 GB for 80 tabs is not exactly a conservative usage of memory (nor very normal). I say this because the other day I had around 200 tabs in Opera, and memory usage was around 450 MB (for the browser, not total usage)
Were you using Facebook? ;D

no
in fairness, before I rebooted FF was using between 5 & 600MB for the 80 tabs (cant remember exactly 5something :))
I'm down to about 50 tabs now & 260mb usage [private bytes] for FF... commit history says 750 altogether currently
[edit] tidied up a bit :P

That explains it! You shouldn't use low quality software :P
justice:
Use a bit of adobe cs3 and you'll get to that figure easily haha.
cmpm:
Is it the difference between the page file and the swap file?
With tinyresmeter.
I have a varying range of 1gb to 1.5 for the page file.
The swap file is at 600mb and varies but never over the pagefile.
So is the 'commit' the page file or swap file.
Page file=what's available,
Swap file=what is being used.
