Finally!
With previous versions of Safari I would have to quit and restart after a day or so as Safari's memory usage shot up to 350+ Megs. Safari now seems to be hovering around 171 Megs after over 24 hours of being open and many windows and tabs.

So at that rate it seems that it will get bigger in a day...

I think the easiest fix here is simply closing Safari every now and then and enjoying the milli-seconds it takes to get going again...

No, that's smaller than it used to be after being up for 24 hours.

You know that can totally depend on the number and type of sites you hit. Even one small movie can do it.

Thank you, Captain Obvious. However, after the same everyday usage I gave v64, v73 has a much smaller memory footprint.

I actually like starting up Safari each day but that's because using MooSB I've got the Tarzan yell set to sound when it starts up.

I give IE for OS 9 30 megs and it does fine! Why the heck would Safari need so much RAM?
