Oh, I know Firefox crams a long ton of crap in there.  X's VSZ never
seems to shrink down, even when FF exits and no longer grasps onto all
those pixmaps for dear life, but it doesn't seem to do anything but
consume swap for me; no noticeable lasting slowdown, and I don't see
it shuffling those pages in and out of core.
