For WinXP, use Process Explorer by SysInternals. Child PIDs are listed under main PIDs. Look at the memory consumption of each child PID and kill the one that is highest and refresh.

Release channel browsers stopped having significant memory leaks several years ago. -

Let us know. There are still other things it can be.
Originally posted by Zanick I've opened the activity monitor although I'm not sure how to interpret all this information. I do see that the CPU column for this site is fluctuating dramatically, however. First 1%, then 30%, now 10%. What should I make of this?
This is normal. Sorting the column by CPU will show whichever processes are currently using the most CPU cycles. So, it's sorting by CPU usage. It will change from moment to moment.
If you receive that error again, open Activity Monitor and see if Safari is indeed using high CPU or a large amount of RAM.
You can also monitor Disk activity as well as network. Try to determine what seems to be power hungry when that error appears.
Of course, we hope that updating MacOS and in turn, Safari, will have cleared all of this up, but there are some other tricks we can try if it doesn't. -
