Resident Memory Footprint

Hi, I am using Mozilla in Gnome.

When I run an application called "gtop", it shows that Mozilla is using anywhere from 120 to 180 MB of resident memory. I have 160 MB of RAM, so this means lots of disk swapping. Nothing else I run gets anywhere close to using that much memory. Is there some tuning I can do to help this? It really bogs my computer down.

Thanks!

System Details:
Code:
Pentium 233 MMX
160 MB physical RAM
160 MB Swap space
Linux - Debian "Woody"
Gnome 1.4
Mozilla 1.0.0
