Re: OmniWeb memory usage

Pretty typical values if you ask me, though not something to be happy  
about of course.

I suspect, if you browse anything like I do, the RAM usage is purely  
a matter of being able to open tens to hundreds of sites so easily  
(through workspaces) within one session. When I use other browsers, I  
just don't open as many sites in one go, so RAM usage tends to be a  
lot lower (I can barely open 6 tabs in Safari before getting really  
annoyed at how limiting its UI is and Firefox would be just as bad,  
but the Tab Mix Plus extension makes it a bit more bearable).

Cheers,

Jonathan
