Has anyone looked at their memory usage for Safari lately? Jesus. I thought Firefox in Windows was bad but 350MB of memory is NOT normal for a web browser. It seems like the more pages you visit the worse it gets. does it hold pages in the memory for 24 hours or something? I shouldn't have to constantly exit and restart my browser to keep it at less then 500 MB.

Even when I close and reopen it Safari starts grabbing RAM on the spot (going up by .25 every 5 sec even when no pages are loaded).

WTF Apple. I thought Firefox was bad in OS X but I may have to check it out again.
