I hope you use Pandora (Pandora.com), the personal internet streaming that customizes itself to your exact taste for music. I was using it recently when and just happened to be looking at my activity monitor and noticed that the memory for Firefox was through the roof and it was slowing down my computer like crazy. So I did a little testing with some different browsers to see if this was the case.
Safari started out with 44 MB of real ram while Firefox started with 82MB, after an hour they were both at 130MB. After 2 hours Safari took the lead and went up to 185MB, while Firefox had pretty much stopped going up at around 138MB.
I guess the moral here is to use Firefox (duh) if you want to keep your memory in control.
