Who has issues with Memory/CPU leak on their browsers?

Opera has crashed every time I've opened it, uses up to 4.5gbs of RAM then crashes. Chrome has been using 120% CPU right now seems to be okay. Firefox running in 64bit was a joke and even on 32bit is using way too much CPU and RAM.

Anyone else experiencing the crappiness of the recent browsers?
I know OSX Lion is the Vista of Apple but still..... 6GBs of ram isn't enough???
MacBookPro 17" top of the line too...

Snow Leopard > Mountain Lion > Lion

Snow leopard is still the best, but 10.8 is a lot better than 10.7

Camino is great. Integrates directly with your OSX keychain so your saved form data is secured with your profile password. Good popup/XSS prevention built in as well.

Strange, I'm only getting ~19% usage with FF (14.0.1) opened up idling. 2006 MBP running 10.6.8 w/4gb ram.
