snydeq writes "Consuming twice as much RAM as Firefox and saturating
the CPU with nearly six times as many execution threads, Microsoft's
latest beta release of Internet Explorer 8 is in fact more demanding on
your PC than Windows XP itself, research firm Devil Mountain Software
found in performance tests. According to the firm, which operates a
community-based testing network, IE8 Beta 2 consumed 380MB of RAM and
spawned 171 concurrent threads during a multi-tab browsing test of
popular Web destinations. InfoWorld's Randall Kennedy speculates that
Microsoft may be designing IE8 for the multicore future. But until your
machine sports four or eight discrete processing cores, IE8 will remain
'porcine,' Devil Mountain's Craig Barth says."
