Two major questions:

Mozilla is a joke-- just after startup top reports Mozilla alone using
70% of my RAM. I looked at Skipstone, but is there anything else you
can recommend? (Opera? Though it is non-free...)
Galeon uses Mozilla base, but is much leaner and meaner. Also,
Mozilla's reported memory usage is not as bad as it sounds... there's
an FAQ somewhere.
Galeon uses GNOME, though, right? That's a bunch more stuff to pull in
right there. Skipstone is similar to Galeon, AFAIK, but with fewer
features and a dependency on only GTK (which I believe Mozilla depends
on already).
And Mozilla... well, switching between windows takes four seconds of
swapping. Once a window is up it scrolls pretty fast, but as I browse
around it gets slower and slower.
I'm *really* starved for memory here. You'd think 32 million bytes (256
million bits!) would be a lot. ;)
