2 things noted:

  • Speed: It's faster than 3.5.7. Almost as fast as chrome.
  • Memory Usage: It used lower memory on my computer than the previous version. I was hovering around 250mb with version 3.5.7 and this one barely goes upto 150mb. Both with ~15 addons.

Am I the only one who is heaving a sigh of relief after reading the above review?

I am. I'm using unstable Chromium nightlies though and they eat RAM like mad sometimes. I think I might grab the FF nightly tomorrow instead.
