Bug#555126: xulrunner-1.9.1: xul_runner has a memory and performance leak

[joblack]

Package: xulrunner-1.9.1
Version: 1.9.1.4-1
Severity: normal

xul-runner-stub in combination with iceweasel has some problematic 'features'

At first it often takes 100% of one cpu, secondly it often has a memory leak
so that such 'top'-output is possible (would be even higher if I wouldn't 
have stopped it with kill $ID).

Why do I need this buggy program for firefox/iceweasel anyway?
