Can we then get a comparison from a Mac user perhaps? It'll hardly be a
conclusive test, but fun anyway. :p
ie, first open up only IE5 (or whatever you guys are up to these days),
browse to a page and then check the memory usage.
then, do the same with only Netscape 6. Also, perhaps try it with a recent
version of Mozilla, Netscape 4, Netscape 3, etc.
I'm using NT 4 Server. I have IE5/Netscape3/Netscape4 open, all at the same
(fairly simple) page.
Memory usage:
Netscape4: 7076k
Netscape3: 6588k
IE: 4008k
When they're all minimised:
Netscape4: 1084k
Netscape3: 1956k
IE: 768k
I have one of the Netscape 6 previews, but when I tried to load it out of
curiosity, it had lost my "account", and crashed trying to load the form to
sign me up. Err, OK.
The only version of Mozilla I have is around M11 I think. It's usage for the
page in question was about 14000k.
