Any opinions on which is browser will take up the fewest resources on my
867MHz, 640MB Powerbook. I find Safari seems to grab lots of memory and
CPU, even when it isn't doing anything. Firefox also seems to like lots
of memory. So far, I find that Shiira takes up the least amount of
resources, plus it seems plenty fast and robust. Any contrary opinions?

What are your requirements beyond low resource use? 'Cuz, you know,
there's always Lynx.
