Firefox often reserves 100 MB of RAM on my machine, but hands it over to other applications that need it without a fuss. Firefox isn't "using" 100MB of memory and Opera is not "using" 50MB of memory.

I had planned on making an observation or two on IE7 in that comment as well, but I had to go to the hospital appointment from which I've just returned and about which I'm just about to blog before I get some food and go to work.
