Ohgodyes. I suspect Safari was partially responsible for my
experiences of OS 10.4 on a Mini being less stable than XP on the
laptop sitting next to it. Safari appeared to consistently take twice
as much RAM as Firefox despite the latter running three times as many
tabs. That, along with Dashboard widgets just consuming insane
quantities of memory. WebCore has a lot to answer for.

I realise that conventional wisdom says MacOS needs more RAM than
Windows, but it's getting to the point where someone seems to have
mistaken it for an aspiration.
