Well, part of it comes down to tuning. Eric put together a Firefox
extension that sets several options to more friendly levels. In
particular:

browser.cache.memory.capacity
and
browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers

The defaults are variable depending on the total memory of the
computer. Of course, in an LTSP environment, it's all shared, so a 4G
host can't expect to have all that for one browser instance.

As I understand it, the defaults have been dialed back somewhat for
Firefox 2. Eric's Firefox extension dials back these values too.
