Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Replying to [comment:16 bugzilla]:

 overloading memory throughput, but very slowly growing in size (hours
 before OOM).
 or CPU and memory now, in the `firefox.exe+0x14c0` thread of a child
 process with stack, full of
 `xul.dll!ZN7mozilla6scache10PathifyURIEP6nsIURIR19nsACString_internal+0x60xxxxxx`
 calls (more than hundred of them in depth).
