>From TFA: "Google Chrome posted the highest maximum memory usage ***when all chrome.exe processes were summed***, reaching 1.18 gigabytes, while Firefox posted the lowest maximum memory levels of 327.65 megabytes." [Emphasis mine] Doing any memory test on a multi-process program where naive summation is used will yield inaccurate results. We wrote a blog post about this problem back when we launched in September: http://blog.chromium.org/2008/09/google-chrome-memory-usage-good-and-bad.html (I'm not claiming that Google Chrome uses the least memory; I'm just pointing out that the above experiment's methodology is invalid. Calculating actual memory consumption is really hard.) -- Elliot --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Developers mailing list: chromium-dev@googlegroups.com View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
