Have you ever compare between web browser and see which browser that have the smallest memory usage for their operation?

Recently I reinstall new windows on my desktop and I try to test between 4 web browser (IE 7, Fire Fox, Opera and Safari) to see which browser that run the smallest memory,  so this way I can set which one is my default browser.

so how do I test them?

1.  I install four browser freshly without any add-ons or plugins.
2.  I put the same load for each browser
3.  Monitor the memory change

Testing Environment on Windows XP with the latest update.

And heres the result:

Opera has the lowest memory usage followed by Internet Explorer 7, Safari and Firefox.

I already have a feeling that opera will be the light one as I feel it when I use it, but I was surprise to see that firefox have the biggest memory usage than all 3 browser, and the different is huge its like around 30,000 K different, I thought that IE is the one who use the highest memory, but not.  So now I set Opera as my default browser, even tough I still use all those 3 browser to check my web design layout.
