[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1254947, member: 71075"] Quite the opposite in my experience. Let me give you an example. Right now, I have the same set of tabs open in Safari. It is using 248.4MB of RAM. Right now, Chrome itself is only using 80.8MB but has spawned 8 processes which mean that Chrome is responsible for using 455.7MB. So if bloat is a concern, Chrome is probably not your best bet in terms of memory usage. In terms of how it performs though, I find the application quite responsive (I assume that this is partly because the app itself is only using 80.8MB). One thing I learned today that is worth noting is that if a tab is opened from a current tab (say you click a link that opens a new tab), it runs in the same process as the original. It's only when you create the tab yourself that it runs in a separate process (more [URL="http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/webmasters-faq.html#newtab"]here[/URL] if you're interested). [/QUOTE]
