Anyone here seen this before? I can't remember how I discovered this site, but am curious if anyone here has experience with them. This sounds like it might be a nice addition for Firefox. Thoughts?

Firefox Plumber (as pasted from the above website)
One of the biggest “improvements” that Mozilla claims is improved memory usage, in particular, the vanquishing of memory leaks. If you thought it was too good to be true you were right. Firefox still uses a lot of memory – way too much memory for a web browser.
We like keeping our apps running for a few days (that’s just the way we roll) and because of this Firefox was using over ~800MB of memory after about 3 days. It’s quite normal for Firefox to be sucking up ~100MB of memory right off the bat (in a memory leak you’ll see the memory usage keep increasing the longer the browser is open/in-use).
Rather than complaining about it, we decided to fix it. Enter Rizone Firefox Plumber. Simply put, it will eliminate all memory leaks in Firefox. All we did was tweaked our memory optimization engine a little and applied it to Firefox (including Firefox extension) and all the memory leaks was gone. To use Firefox Plumber, you will need to unzip foxBoost.zip and double click on foxBoost.exe and let Firefox Plumber babysit. You expected it to be more complicated, we are truly sorry to disappoint you.

To configure Firefox Plumber you will need to edit the configuration file using a text editer. Change the BoostMS value to the amount of time (milliseconds) you want foxBoost to wait before optimizing FireFox. The lower this amount, the less memory FireFox will use, but the more processing power foxBoost will use and vice versa. In the Processes section you can list the processes you want foxBoost to optimize.
