Firefox indeed eats a lot of memory (it has been already identified to 
be memory fragmentation, and has improved lots in Firefox 3). But it 
only eats lots of CPU when Flash is running...

IE, on the other hand, has great performance and no standards 
compliance, and since it hasn't been updated much for years... it was 
made for older machines :P
