i have a mac and im using the new firefox 4 just testing to see if it will use less ram usage than before. when i open facebook and flickr the usage flys up. what is typically sucking more ram? im guessing its javascript but maybe there is more?
just curious so that maybe i can build my web application better if the methods i already use suck ram.

php isn't going to use any ram on your client at all. This seems more like a Superuser question. Anyway javascript, page rendering, alpha's, fancy effects, rotating ads, network latency will all be things that could impact on your ram. Chrome for me seems the quickest – Jason – 2011-03-10T01:30:57.187
Media on the Website probably take quite a bit, but I would imagine the majority would be all of the Extensions/Plugins that the Browser has to load to process that Media. – None – 2011-03-10T01:31:46.467

yea flash i know of lol its a good sucker. and wow i didntk now network latency sucks ram also. i guess the best thing to do is always optimize images to the smallest possible but still holding its quality. i heave heard that hte jquery library sucks ram as well. i havent really tested but what do you think>? – None – 2011-03-10T01:48:43.217
