There is a new test for several browsers testing the same given page
The page tested is the following: (it has many graphics and has special interest to all of you )

The test is very simple:

I disarmed the browsers from any unnecessary taskbars and tabs

I have entered the page and waited until the page has completely downloaded

Opened the task manager and set it to process monitoring for noticing the memory usage

And here are the results for 8 browsers

               test1           test2                  

Firefox 2      99508           117000
FF 3 portable  73144            65500
Chrome         88344            94300
OPera 3        10600             9900
opera 9.21     91000            86500
opera 9.6  54200 !! 56300   60200
iexplorer 6                     39600
ff wonder                       27012       

From the above results please notice :
Firefox Wonder is 1.5.0.7 version tinkered for best speed conditions
Goggle Chrome splits its memory in 3 blocks minimum and each tab adds a new memory block in the task manager with 11 MB for an empty page
From the two tests here are the block memory usages

30636+ 21388 + 36320
30208+ 41940 + 22172

Opera 3 though having the minor memory does not support most of the page’s style sheets. Most of the page’s menus are shown as a raw text
Opera 9.6 is really the winner among the modern browsers with just the 2/3 of memory usage …
