Internet Explorer 8 is a resource hog - stick with Firefox 3
IE8 is a resource hog - The INQUIRER
In a multi-tab browsing session against 10 websites under Vista, IE8 grabbed
about 380MB of memory, in contrast with 250MB consumed by IE7 and just 159MB by
Firefox 3.0.1. That makes IE8 nearly one and-a-half times more memory intensive
than IE7 and well more than twice as greedy as Firefox.
Nonetheless, Firefox displayed websites faster than both IE7 and IE8,
according to the test report, although it didn't present any timing figures. The
test report conjectured that Firefox uses "a more efficient rendering engine
employing fewer threads in exchange for faster linear performance."

In the end, Religion will kill us all.
