Comment 9 for bug 306497

Although memory is an issue - for most people it's not a problem. The resources problem is not a simple matter of Gwibber hanging itself up - often it won't grey itself out and sit quietly. Once or twice I have forced it to quit because it can render the whole desktop unresponsive - and I do like to build up my 'uptime' and hate to have to reset (it's now not so easy for most people to quit X server and log in again...

I generally just use Gnome-Do to post to identi.ca now - when my internet connectivity is poor, I can guarantee Gwibber can't post - even if the experimental modes are disabled.
