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.

What I don't understand is how a browser not using a native UI (thus having all the extra load of an XML/Javascript UI) can use less memory than an entirely Cocoa native-API browser like Safari...
I mean really, how? That one boggles my mind.
edit: on Mac, I should add. Safari/Win doesn't count, it's in the same boat.
