Apologies if this as been asked before but can someone tell me if it normal for Safari to take up 195+ MB (Real Memory) and 1.01GB (Virtual Memory) when watching a YouTube video?

If it helps I am running 10.5.4 w/ Safari 3.2.1 on a G5 2x 2.0Ghz

Another thing i've noticed is my fan(s) run non-stop (at least that's how I see it) when I play these types of videos.

Thanks.

I think you can blame this squarely on Adobe

347 MB / 1.43 GB

It’s fun watching Activity Monitor to see how quickly Safari’s memory leaks while playing flash content.
