Iceweasel: Unofficial Firefox port on HaikuDepot

Could there be something wrong with RAM usage on this port? When running it takes up a sizable chunk of RAM, which is to be expected, but once it’s closed a lot of the RAM used doesn’t seem to free up and ProcessController lists it as cached RAM… I think?

This is the About screen with no other apps open showing 5 gigs of RAM are in use after having used Iceweasel for about 2 hours or so, browsing, watching videos and stuff like that. In that situation the system should be using about 1 gig realistically, probably even less.

This is what ProcessController looks like (there’s more RAM in use because this screenshot was taken later)

Maybe it’s unrelated to Iceweasel, maybe it’s a system bug but I thought I’d ask here since I only notice this after having used the browser.
