[SLUG] memory use

Are either of these out of line?

   PID USER NI VIRT RES SHR WCHAN S %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND
  7965 eben 0 620m 478m 19m stext S 10 23.6 880:39 firefox-bin
24123 root 0 847m 355m 4288 stext R 4 17.5 46,10 Xorg

Both seem like a whole lot of memory. Yeah, yeah, most of it's swapped out.
But still, when FF crashes (as it does every few days) it has to re-allocate
620 megs of RAM then swap out (620-478) MB = 142 megs of that. I should
write a script to watch FF memory use; maybe I can see a leak. I have 52 FF
windows open, with probably 100 tabs.
