Chrome came very close to matching IE8 Beta 2 on peak memory use (324MB for Chrome, 332MB for IE8), but used more memory on average (267MB for Chrome vs. 211MB for IE8).
it will always use more memory than Firefox, IE 7 and similar, single-process browsers
Its treating each tab as separate process behavior indeed makes it more memory heavy application. Though Google thinks the compromise over memory utilization brings with it worth while advantages. And from what I hear, Chrome performs blazing fast.
But liking it or not liking it, if Google releases an open source software, they should at least release a version for the platform that most open source users use, i.e. Linux, at the same time as they release it for other platforms. A humble request.
Im afraid that it will be impossible to make Linux version of Chrome Browser.
Mostly because Chrome *IS* using some parts of... Internet Explorer (in example security settings and connection settings). Its not a *real* standalone browsr like Firefox or Opera.
