The resource usage of browsers is an important aspect in modern-day computing, because the browser is taking on an ever more important role in day-to-day computing tasks. Hence, it may come as no surprise that many complaints regarding browsers are not about rendering speed or rendering quality, but about resource usage. Dot Net Perls ran an interesting benchmark on Windows Vista SP1, comparing 5 browsers to each other.

I would say both... a flat line at 1Gb (made up number) would be a bad sign too. But most common complain is when browser over time eat all the memory.
My browser can be running for days... so no leaked of memory is definitively what I am looking for. Mozilla did a great work on that new version for that matter.

Is it just me or does the study show IE8 using far less memory in the short term but growing faster in the long term? So is the winner of the study determined by a flat line or actual low memory usage?
