I have nothing to prove it, but I heard many times at least from former version that Firebug was quite memory hungry, thus slowing Firefox after many hours of use. I may be wrong.

It's true, it got a lot better with firefox 3.5.

Not sure if it was firefox or firebug that improved things (or both).

that may be the case, but it's nothing to do with what this page is measuring.
