In my experience, Safari(I'm talkin about the Windows version) seems to be the fastest and most efficient browser. Also a surprise browser which my friend recommended me, called Flock.

FirFox is a good browser that needs a good amount of memory; not that I don’t have enough I got 2GB installed on my laptop and 4GB on my desktop but lets use the resource wisely ;)

But the fact is, currently it is the most web-developer-friendly browser out there. Imagine how much time do plugins like the web developer toolbar, firebug, and color picker save you. Here is the mozilla zine article about some guy's quest to reduce memory usage in firefox: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Memory_Leak BTW, opera released a web developer toolbar, but i haven't tested it personally.
