by Things that are written poorly (such as netscape) dont use memory use
memory very well.... And it seems that in Accel X, it uses a feature known
as 'backing store' which caches things in memory. And since Netscape is

I suggest using the -bs option to the X server, this will disable the
backing store, and Xaccel shouldnt eat more than 5 or 6 megs of memory.
