Well, there's problem with perl scripts leaking and memory fragmentation
etc. so there's simple solution -- doesn't use any scripts in irssi.
Also, you can use "/upgrade" command from time to time. It just reexec
irssi, but your configuration will remain same and you will still use
that pretty same connection to irc server -- no quits+rejoins.
