Hey, Ive been noticing that Safari tends to take up quite a bit of RAM on my machine. For example, right now with 3 tabs open its running with 361.75 MB of Real Memory and 831.88 MB of Virtual Memory and 11 Threads. Does anyone have any ideas as to why it would be using so much? Id like to find out how I can lower these numbers.
Also, sorry if this is posted in the wrong section, I thought it would be the most appropriate.

What's the difference between Safari and WebKit?

WebKit is a foundation to make applications from. Safari is an application with that WebKit foundation. DeskBrowse is another application built on WebKit.
Also, I seem to remember a similar problem with IE for Mac, where it just kept eating up RAM. The only solution was to restart MSIE.
