Geez! has anyone 'benchmarked' Safari?
It uses Mozilla rendering but, geez it hogs resources on my machine to the tune of 84MB ... where K-meleon used 19MB on the same basic page / minimized :s
I'm astounded but, it loads pages fast despite using tons of mem ...
Yes it is fast, IMHO all recent browsers except IE 6 & 7 are
Safari 3 is by far not as fast as Apple claimed. I did not get hold of Safari 4 beta but testers wrote it has a better JS engine.
Maybe I understood You wrong, but AFAIK
Safari uses Webkit a spin off from KHTML.
Safari folder has 60 MB on much of it is loaded to run the browser which also uses big modern runtime dll - no wonder it uses 84 MB when started. A current Webkit nightly has 79 MB (without the exe to start it!).
p.s. Iron (much like chrome, but without its data collecting habits) is another nice browser based on the Webkit/KHTML engine.
