Chrome uses far less memory for Gmail

Gmail tend to consume comparatively more memory in IE and Firefox because of it’s heavy dependency on client side processing using javascript. I have quickly ran a test using all three browsers with their latest version (IE 8 beta 2, Firefox 3, Chrome).

Chrome is using far less memory than other fellow browsers, but I am not surprised because Chrome has inbuilt support for Google Gears and as they said their JavaScript engine is written entirely from scratch.
