All browsers are memory hogs. It's the price you pay for having an application delivery platform that also needs to be hugely sandboxed running one of the most difficult languages to run efficiently in such large amounts as so the plaintext minified versions are a dozen megabytes in size. I don't envy browsers even slightly, peoples expectations of them are ludicrous. The major problem is that nobody is genuinely looking at using more efficient languages, lessening the amount of required inefficient language use or gasp producing native applications. (which, is definitely an order of magnitude harder to produce, I'll grant).
