Initial testing shows Chrome is releasing memory and giving at least somewhat most stable performance. Still testing this comparison.

Done further testing. I fairs better with plugins disabled. That said I allowed the Twitter Deck to run in Chrome for ~13 hours and it is using 450mb and stable. On Firefox I'm still testing it's hit about the same level 450mb of memory user after ~1 hour. (I have looked at other pages in both browsers during testing). It's better without plugins but it is still climbing. It's exceeding Chrome now after ~3 hours.

Really I had a much more stable browser when I was using Minefield 64bit on Windows.
