Just the other day, I had a handful of Safari windows and tabs open, but the program had been running for many days, with windows being opened and closed. It was using 1.5GB of real memory! I quit Safari, and got all that memory back. Then, I re-launched it and used History->Reopen All Windows from Last Session to get back to where I was. Safari was only using 150MB at that point, so I gained back 1.35GB!! What I've noticed is that Safari leaks huge amounts of memory.
