Hi Ryan, I tested it on IE7, Chrome, Firefox3, Safari (Mac). They all perform in consistent manner, Safari is less greedy, IE & FF are the most hungry ones.
But as I said before, I can't see this footprint shrink when I minimise browsers. I even set this secret variable for FF - trim_on_minimise - no effect. How come?
