Biggest downside I think we found to Camino was the lack of Firefox
plugins.  Especially when you're relying on things like FoxyProxy, it
does create a bit of an issue using Camino full-time.  If you're not
worried about though, and/or all you want to do is just test your code,
it might not hurt to have a copy of Camino set up to do exactly what you
want, and use FF/Safari for everything else.
 
I'd tended to use the Intel native/optimized builds of Firefox (BonEcho
and the like), and never bothered worrying about memory usage.  Over
time with FF you just grow to accept things are slow ... or buy/demand a
new machine.

Camino is supposed to be pretty fast.

Its a little bit more difficult to set up your proxies but it is
possible.

I was using Camino but I currently use Firefox.

        I've been using Firefox, but it seems to bloat memory-wise the
longer 
        it runs - often consuming >500Mb after a while. As FB3 also is a

        memory hog, this makes it hard to run on a 2Gb machine.
        
        All I really need it a lightweight browser that can load the
Flash 
        plugin.
