I upgraded to 10.4.3 just a few days ago and by chance I was checking the process viewer and I noticed Safari using over 2GB of virtual memory. I've rarely seen an app go over 1GB let alone 2. I thought it was maybe just a glitch so I quit Safari and it was back to normal. Today, it's back at over 2GB again.

Two questions:
Is anyone else getting this?
and is there a way to check what is using the memory? Like if it's one of the plug-ins or something.

1. As MindFad implied, the virtual memory usage can basically be ignored.

2. Safari's an application, and applications have their own forum.
