3. Compare memory useage
Actual Results:  
FireFox uses twice as much memory as Konqueror

I see no problem until I reload. But that problem seems nearly fixed or in any case improved with the latest trunk build. Trunk builds can be downloaded here:

confirmed on Linux, 3.7a1 nightly builds use about the same amount of memory konqueror does.
