Scored this with 2.0.0.12 Shocking 23090.8ms +/- 1.4%

Remember, it depends on the processor as well. You should compare them on the same system.

I don't care if I am the only Opera user in the whole world! Firefox was unusable for me. Constantly going upto 450MB RAM usage, and virtually stops working (i.e. becomes so slow) Opera hasn't. But Firefox 3 also hasn't given that problem. But it is still beta. Maybe when the final is released, I will switch. Can't say anything at the moment.

Memory usage is an issue for me too...

yeap firefox uses gobs of memory, FF3 has fixed this and FF3 is also the first firefox to Pass the W3C ACID2 test..and currently the only browser that pass that test is Opera

That was mostly due to JS issues. When you browse websites that have a lot of JS, Firefox gets mad, and drives us mad too

Firefox is a lot better than IE7 when it comes to memory usage......(In Vista)

Unless you start browsing a website that has an insane amount of Java Script (like ogame )

IE8 will too (and the first beta is coming very soon as I heard)

yeah right....who give a shit abt IE anyway...no matter what they do itll always be remembered as a pice of junk

Firefox with Ogame memory usage is 670
IE7 with Ogame memory usage is 691

Anyway, nobody passes ACID3 yet. Opera Kestrel scores 54/100 here, and Firefox scores 67/100. But the rendered image is better looking on Opera.

However, Opera crashes after a few seconds when running those tests. :S

Gosh

When Firefox gets to 400MB, I can't do anything. I have to restart it.
