have profiled Twitter memory usage a bit. it starts near 50mb on a fresh page load and creeps up at the rate of 10-15mb per minute forever until you refresh the page. the memory leaks are a design feature I think. maybe they get to serve new ads when you refresh?

ok I don't know about the ads thing, that's me being paranoid and snarky. the memory leaks are real though.

it’s the memory usage I find most offensive. I’m old enough that a 16KB memory expansion cartridge was a big deal

counterpoint: computer hardware and electricity and bandwidth are all relatively cheap. we could do better but there's not enough utility in actually doing better so we settle at this mildly-disappointing but high utility equilibrium point.
