I don't like FF anyway.. by Bonzo2005-08-16 01:02:41
  Do you have the in-memory cache enabled, though? (n/t) by LionsPhil2005-08-16 01:12:46
    Probably.. by Bonzo2005-08-16 01:14:32

I did some informal testing on this a while back, but I can't remember the results and I don't have time to repeat it right now. (I *do* remember IE kicking everything's ass in this area, actually, when allowed to share a process like its competition.)

I think that even with memory caching off (which means in the same sense as on-disk caching), Opera will still keep in-memory parsed copies of pages in the back/forward history of each tab, which is part of why it's so nippy (I think recent CVS Firefox has picked up this trick), so that may be a factor.

My copy of Opera running on my Gentoo box here at work right now is using ~82MB (if I've got my ps arguments right), but then it's got two windows open, one with five tabs, one with sixteen, each with plenty of back/forward history, pages with plenty of graphics, and memory caching turned on, limited to 60MB. (The maximum -- given that this is a 1GB box, it's a bit of a pain that I can't stick an arbitrary integer in there. Hmm, bugreport...)

                    Well, now, that's the promise of a great thing ;-) by Ravenlock2005-08-16 03:16:05
                      Actually, by LionsPhil2005-08-16 06:00:05
