Firefox 3 May Be More Memory Efficient Than Either IE or Opera

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the but-is-it-as-efficient-as-a-red-stapler dept.

Edy52285 writes "Ars Technica has an article showing benchmarks pitting Firefox 3 Beta 4 against other browsers. Contenders include IE7, Firefox 2, Opera 9.5 Beta, and Safari 3.0.4 Beta. The piece includes a graph depicting FF3's memory usage well below that of the other browsers. The in-testing browser even trumps Opera, which has long been regarded as the fastest browser around."

    I am with Bjarne on this one.
    Bjarne Stroustrup, creator of the C++ programming language, claims that C++ is experiencing a revival and
    that there is a backlash against newer programming languages such as Java and C#. "C++ is bigger than ever.
    There are more than three million C++ programmers. Everywhere I look there has been an uprising
    - more and more projects are using C++. A lot of teaching was going to Java, but more are teaching C++ again.
    There has been a backlash.", said Stroustrup.
