This numbers are the basis to claim that dillo2 uses half thememory footprint of dillo1. Just check the last row or comparethe factor.
The “factor” is calculated with the RSS for theMySQL manual (with no images), minus the empty RSS, minus 13MB,all divided by 13MB. The memory-cached page is subtracted to geta clean HTML-to-Widgets factor.
This is, if you have a 130KB html page, factor*130KB will be usedfor rendering.
