I can believe those figures. Although, the one thing I’d like to see more of in comparison tests like these is a cold and warm startup times for the browsers.
A cold start would be the very first time the browser is launched after the computer boots up, and a warm start would be every subsequent launch. Both figures are important in day to day use and sometimes even more important than any of these other figures. From my experience Chrome is hands down the best in this category, and Firefox has become one of the worst even without it being loaded down with plugins. And then I think IE8 is somewhere in the middle.

I agree with you! The browser I’m preferring to Firefox, which has become “heavy”, is Chrome. Internet Explorer 8 does not use it at all.
Despite this for my projects with ExtJS still use Firefox with the Firebug plugin, although these have Chrome plugin.
