But when I turn Pandora off, it goes to 458. The Safari memory jumps all over the place anyway, depending on whether it's loading a page.

BUT if you look over to the "% of CPU" column, it jumps from 14% to 23% with Pandora running, and with it off it ranges between

WOW

I'm going to check back in. I was watching the % without Pandora, and it was in the 12-19% range. Started Pandora and it went to 14-23%. But when I turned it off, it went down to 2-5%. So I'll keep watching this and report in. It may very well suck up a ton of memory.
