[sf-lug] troubleshooting

[Michael Shiloh]

Looks like you're short on memory. How does it perform without Firefox? 
In my experience that's a huge hog, and seems to have memory leaks. 
After running for a few days or weeks I need to kill Firefox and restart it.

I make heavy use of tabs in Firefox, which I know consumes much memory.

I recently added memory to my old T61P laptop and was astonished by the 
difference.
