IE 7 CPU and memory utilization II

And, as I've posted before, I continue to be disappointed by the memory hungry/unstable IE 7. I can easily make it consume 1 Gb of memory by itself, just by opening a few tabs, that's is really unacceptable. The it has huge trouble on long pages that use XML client-side processing, taking up tons of CPU. Scrolling becomes slow and choppy as soon as you have 20-30 tabs open. It's just a poor performer. Too bad.
