My "about:memory" display looks like this:

    1,085.17 MB (100.0%) -- explicit
    ├────599.16 MB (55.21%) -- gfx
    │    ├──597.14 MB (55.03%) -- webrender

    │    │  └───16.72 MB (01.54%) ++ (10 tiny)
    │    └────2.02 MB (00.19%) ++ (8 tiny)
    ├────198.31 MB (18.27%) ── heap-unclassified
    ├─────82.74 MB (07.63%) -- js-non-window

I assume that "swgl' means "software GL", probably as a result of my
Radeon HD 7450 video card not doing hardware GL.  There goes 580 megs
anyway.
