Bummer!!!

Not my experience. After my first day in 2 years back using OW (which I formerly paid for...) I found OW had real memory usage of 377 Mb with a dozen or so tabs open and closed all day, while Safari 4 (whose tabs I closed hours ago and that has no open windows) is STILL at 400+ Mb!
On the whole OW with webkit v.4 seems pretty good to me, although I'm missing some sort of tab list: I love visual tabs and have always used them in Safari via SafariStand. But tab-like tabs at least give you a visual impression of what's open while visual tabs scroll off the bottom of the drawer.
Two possible solutions:
1. FavIcons in the 'collapsed' version of the tabs in the tab drawer
2. A tab list (like Firefox) on the Top Right of the bookmark bar.
I'd prefer solution (1).
