Is part of that memory usage cache though? If there's more aggressive in-memory caching of objects, script engines etc, then memory usage would increase, but only until Windows signalled a low-memory condition

IE7 (1 iexplore.exe process) Memory (PWS): 174MB Commit: 207MB IE8 (9 iexplore.exe processes) Memory (PWS): 273MB Commit: 436MB I know plenty of XP machines still at 512MB. Fortunately most of those users don't even know that multiple tabs are possible, pretty much work in one website at a time all day.
