It will likely settles a few MB above the memory footprint reached after garbage collection has occurred, whenever the garbage collector is permitted to do its job. + +When repeatedly reload all filters (after say, changing selection of filter lists), I notice µBlock's baseline memory footprint edges higher each time. I entered [an issue](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/22) to be remembered to investigate whether anything can be done for this. Currently I think this is simply caused by cumulative memory fragmentation and there might be nothing which can be done. Typically I expected users whill select a set of lists and stick to that afterward, so this would make this particular issue irrelevant. \ No newline at end of file
