Memory leak on Opera build 63xx
The memory leak issues are not solved in build 6340 Debian build (but i suspect this is a cross-platform issue). It is present from 10.00 at least.I reduced the memory cache to 4 MB and that helped - before the memory footprint grew regardless what sites i visited - the memory cache setting was "Automatic" (maybe its behavior too should be checked).
Now with this setting it seems to appear only with certain pages - i can browse for hours and the memory size usually doesnt gets above ~250 MB. But if i visit a page (i do a few times a day, it is a news page), and enter a few links, the memory footprint increases to 300-400 MB very fast. The page is:
http://www.realitatea.net/
It is full of scripts, flash ads - i blocked the flash ads, but the behavor is the same. But using the build that killed flash (6333?) the page didnt increase the memory footprint by that much so it still might have to do something with flash, maybe not directly.
The CPU usage is about +20% when the page is opened, regardless that is the current tab or in the background - if i open another instance of this page in another tab the CPU usage goes to +35% and the memory usage skyrockets to 500MB or more in a few minutes. On closing the page the memory is not cleared (maybe 2 MB is reduced) and Opera stays with 400-500 MB footprint until i close it. Usually opening/closing other pages increases the footprint but not by much.
This problem probably has to do with certain types of web content that is not discarded from memory, not only this page - sometimes when i browse around i get the memory increase but this is a page that i use often and every time get the same results.
I recently disabled plugins browser-wide to see if there is a difference. It is - the memory size of Opera stays at ~240 MB after hours of browsing. Using the above mentioned site had no effect on the memory usage - after closing the tab it was approximately the same amount of memory occupied as before opening the tab. Also, there was no CPU usage increase - that ~20% increase (for the opera process, not the pluginwrapper) occurs only when i use the plugins (i think only the flash is used anyway).
This means that this memory leak is caused by the communication with the plugin process somehow?

Disabled all plug-ins & don't use block content function, then go to this website: http://www.gametrailers.com open a few links in new tabs from that website... & watch Opera VM usage go nuts.
