           Summary: Large memory consumption by web inspector on long
                    running pages (like gmail overnight)
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 525.x (Safari 3.1)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Web Inspector
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: minatoar at gmail.com


InspectorController::didLoadResourceFromMemoryCache() copies the
request/response headers into its resources table. This can add up to lots of
memory, especially when the same image is requested continually.

The end result is that for long running pages (like leaving gmail running
overnight) _lots_ of memory can get chewed up.

I am attaching a test case which can quickly chew memory in the (windows)
Safari 3.1
