Maybe Chrome's high memory usage is related to its seperate tab processes?

BINGO!!

It says they closed the tabs after 30 were opened whats Firefox and Chrome like when you try to open 100 instantly and try to browse? not trolling just curious just tried it with Opera and it was 510mb and still fast to browse, although Opera rarely goes over 100mb when I browse normally.

Possible. Sadly, IE8 is the only browser with tab process isolation at the moment, and they declined to test it so until we have another yardstick it would be hard to give a definite answer to that one

Chrome does the one-tab-per-process thing as well. Don't believe me? Check out the source code. Also, they take it one step further by sandboxing every tab process.

Uhh Firefox 3.5 eats a lot more memory for me than Chrome with 10 tabs open in both. Firefox gets crappy slow even without flash running in either of the tabs. Chrome doesn't. Keep this in mind when reading into these figures.
