      If I recall correctly, some newer browsers use idle time to try and slowly defragment memory, correct?

      I honestly don't know
      (does anyone outside MS?)

      Many *nix OS's use SLAB allocation, developed by Sun in 1995
      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slab_allocation

      SLAB combats memory fragmentation in a number of ways

      Linux used an implimentation of Sun's SLAB allocator from 1999 - 2007
      I know about 2 years ago, most Linux distros migrated over from the SLAB allocator to the newer SLUB allocator

      This reduced memory fragmentation issues even further

      Windows. No clue

      but in any case, it's an OS issue not an application issue

      I just installed it on my Macbook, it really is faster than chrome in all of my benchtest.

      It does look suspiciously like Chrome though. I guess Apple decided that they've been ripped off so many times, it was time to do it to someone else

      The benchmarks Apple showed are fake.

      Safari 4 actually runs just a bit slower than Opera 9.6x on Windows, and just a bit faster than Firefox. Chrome is still the fastest browser.

      comparing app speeds on windows is like comparing car top speeds on a road peppered with pot-holes and debris

      and that's leaving aside the scientifically rigorous sample count of one...

      Comparing app speeds on Windows is relevant though, because most people are using Windows.

      By the way, thanks for updating me on the memory issue.

      What did you test it with? The standard is the Fortune 500 website and the 500 highest hit web sites.
