I've already pointed you to other forums where discussion is taking  
place, and encourage you to review and contribute in any of the  
discussions there. We discuss performance weekly at our development  
meeting. If you're interested, here are some links:

bugs:

project details:

The specific issues you are seeing are not commonplace, and all due  
respect, you're misreading the memory values between applications and  
not comparing apples to apples (for instance, the firefox.exe process  
also reports memory consumed by plugins, which iexplore.exe and  
chrome.exe do not).

If I've misread your tone, and you actually do wish to get involved  
and assist, I apologize and look forward to your contributions.  
However, your existing tone has been hostile and sarcastic to date,  
and I'm not really interested in getting into arguments about whether  
or not the Mozilla community cares about performance or its users.  
You're free to believe as you wish, and contribute if it's within your  
interest. If you merely wish to complain, consider it registered and  
choose to believe what you will about our desire to fix the issue.

cheers,
mike
