a little heavier and a little lighter.

So far I've tested across:

P3 750mhz: 128mg Ram: Mepis 6 Beta
P4 3ghz : 2gig Ram: Mepis 6 Beta / Windows 2k Pro
A64 2800: 1gig ram: Win2k Pro
A4 1ghz: 512mb ram: Mepis 3.3
AXp: 2.2ghz: 1gig ram: Mepis 3.4.3 / Win2k Pro
P4 3ghz: 1gig Ram : Win2k Pro

Comparing the standalone browsers, FireFox is faster and lighter weight than Opera.

However, if you start adding the extensions into firefox, you'll quickly run into the poorly coded memory leak problems there.

So, if you use FireFox extensions, Opera is faster and lighter.
If you don't, FireFox is faster and lighter.
