FirefoxPortable.exe become so heavy?

I've just downloaded FFP 2.0.0.12 and run it. Does I it really become so heavy? I forget my old FFP version (I let it update itself.. ) but it's look like this in my task manager. http://www.divshare.com/download/3834894-bbc
only take less than 6.5 MB total (memory usage + VM size)

Compare to the new FirefoxPortable.exe who take about 40 MB total.

Usually I just use FFP

Usually I just use FFP though i'm browsing internet from home but because of that problem i've just install FF and run it. Trying to switch back to FFP, double clicked FirefoxPortable.exe and after seconds, FirefoxPortable.exe was unloaded from memory (firefox.exe still running). Does it really behave like that? If it does then that's good. But why FirefoxPortable.exe doesn't unloaded from memory if I dont install FF?

It is probably because of

It is probably because of registry entries that are created when you install firefox that do not need to be deleted. If firefox is installed firefox portable will not need to delete them.
