Hungry Safari

[In Utopia]

Prior to installing Loin I downloaded a software update to Safari, and I think it said something about Lion.
Shortly after it stared consuming over 95% of CPU and over 2GB real memory.
After trying several things Apple care said this is a known issue and would be corrected shortly.
Anyone else run across this?

Nope. Safari only consumes CPU cycles when loading a page, and I have not seen it eek past 500 MB of RAM (although I don't leave it running for weeks, some, however, have seen memory leaks).

currently I am on 440MB after having Safari running all day (I am on 5.0 but get same memory usage on 5.1), so not to bad, but it slows down occasionally

For me its the opposite... prior to Lion i used to have about 800+MB of ram being used by Safari but now it tops at around 450-500MB.

It starts off fine, and without trying to load or anything real mem. keeps increasing.
Also I'm not able to shut it down, I have to go to forced quit.
