OW using WAY too much RAM

I don't mind OW uses more memory when it is working. What bothers me and
most other people here is it has significant memory leaks. That is the
memory size it takes does not come back down when all windows are closed and
it's not doing anything. This make me constantly relaunch OW after a few
hours of surfing.

BTW, Cocoa and Carbon, in their current state, both are "1/2 baked". If you
followed this list closely, you will know even OmniWeb makes use of a lot of
Carbon calls. And if not for Carbon, OW won't be so multi-language friendly.
Heck, even the OS itself relies on Carbon to work. ie. you can only write
input methods in Carbon.
