      Why doesn't Opera shut down the running task when a window or tab is closed ?

      This just bloats the memory !

      Thanks

        Which task? There will be one for the UI, at least one per tab, and the one to update the browser ...

          Other than that I also think it's fair to note that not every entry in Windows task manager will use the same amount of memory.
