Memory Christmas Mac OS
The browsers are a well known problem. What you see are not memory leaks per se. Firefox or Chrome (I don't know about Safari but I guess it works the same way) intentionally don't release the memory when it believes that it will need it and that you have enough. So this memory consumption is more or less dynamic and depends on the amount of memory that you have in your Mac. Lion will not change anything, on the other hand Safari 5.1 that comes with Lion is (for me at least) significantly faster than 5.0x
Well, while running, your Mac OS regularly makes use of a ‘virtual memory’ created on your hard drive. The virtual memory works as RAM if the application memory gets overwhelmed. When full, there is no room for expansion, and thus your Mac runs out of application memory. This is the entire premise of Memory Clean 2.8 (Mac App Store link), Fiplabs’ free memory utility designed to purge inactive memory to help free it up for later use.
