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.

Would probably use less memory on Windows if they just used native widgets and font rendering, not to mention it would look better.
I like the font rendering on my mac more than my pc, but I think it looks absolutely terrible on Windows because it looks so different than everything else.
