Interesting Memory Footprint Test Results for Firefox 3.5

I was reading one of my sites this morning and ran across this study of memory footprint usage by Chrome 3.0, Safari 4.0, Opera 10 and Firefox 3.5. I have to say that I'm impressed with Firefox 3.5's numbers. I have been using Chrome 2.0 for a while and very happy with it in terms of minimal memory footprint for my web application, but if the new Firefox 3.5 is going to best it, that will be even better.

I'll have to see what happens in real-life tests, but it's really encouraging to see this kind of progress in the Firefox line. It's been sitting on 3.0 for a while as others have jumped ahead. It'd be great to see Firefox retake the lead for a while.
