Memory usage in Firefox 3: John Resig tests

In the comments to the post about the memory consumption in Firefox 3 I (more precisely, the author of the graphs ) didn’t blame it for the fact that the memory usage was drawn in a paint. In this post, I suggest that you listen to the tests of John Resig (John Resig) of jQuery developer, the author of the book Pro Javascript Techniques , by the way, Mac user. And the most important thing in testing at this time was the Opera and Safari browsers.



I must say that I did not like :

• The timeline is presented in the form of testing stages, rather than exact time segments.
• Not tested the current release of the Opera browser
• Safari 3 and IE8 could not be tested (I can’t give a quality comment about this, whether it is caused by the software environment and the platform, or the testing method, or by the browsers themselves

We discussed the comparison methodology in the last post on this topic: many browser windows open and close and memory consumption is measured, it is detailed (and quantitatively described in this post ).
')
As for the Safari 3 browser (as well as IE8) - unfortunately it did not reach the end of the tests:


Explanation for conspiracy theories: this time the graphics were drawn not in a paint, but in photoshop - notice the gradient!

For holivarschiki: these graphics were made, above all, to compare memory consumption in the second and third versions of Firefox. Comments about objectivity, it is better to leave in English in the blog of the author of graphs.
