    Not sure what ghostery blocks....

    maybe it's not so much the pixels but some runaway javascript code running in the background that's in stuck in some loop that uses up more and more memory... especially scripts that check a server for new content or such....

    ... I've experimented with turning off javascript and found my browser RAM issues decrease rapidly, but so does the usefulness of the web.... I've used NoScript in Firefox, you have to give permission to the web page to do stuff in Javascript... not a very seemless exeperience, but the RAM issues are much better!
