Profile browser memory usage

[juliusknorr]

While doing some load testing there was a mention by @provokateurin that the browser is using 3GB ram for the single tab.

Some things to clarify:

• What browser was used?
• Was it within the talk call or just the files app?

Most important: Can we reproduce, investigate and improve?

What browser was used?

Firefox 131

Was it within the talk call or just the files app?

Opened from the Files app

Even after reloading the page the usage was still at 2GB when opening the file again.
I also navigated away and reloaded the page there, but the memory usage didn't really go down.
It might not be entirely a whiteboard issue, but just Firefox not cleaning up.
Still the 1GB discrepancy can probably be fixed.

What browser was used?

Firefox 130

Was it within the talk call or just the files app?

From the Files app, but the call was running in another tab. It went so far as to crashing the browser because of RAM usage, I even got an operating system warning.
