Right now it is sitting at about one more MG of ram usage than Galeon [galeon.sourceforge.net], but what I found enlightening is what is said in the FAQs about it's footprint.
You said this is a lean, lightweight browser, but it's {7MB; 9MB}! I laugh at your silly lies!Take it easy, sport. Phoenix is already 35% smaller than Mozilla. It's also worth noting that we're still carrying the weight of many Mozilla files that we've replaced. For example, we still build and ship with Mozilla's form manager, even though we now have Satchel, its lighter replacement. Phoenix also still contains a lot of Mozilla's chrome (front end) files, even though it has its own. We're still trimming the fat and we expect to be able to hit something near 6 MB (Windows) and 7-8MB (Linux) before we're done.

This is one to keep watching.
