For the devs out there you can get the nightly build from the source trunk. Also think portableapps has a precompiled version, ya: http://portableapps.com/news/2010-04...ew_3.7_alpha_4

Holy shit this KICKS ASS!

what exactly kicks ass? I downloaded it. It seems like it might be pretty quick. It's memory footprint is still horrible though. 2 tabs and 131 meg. I regularly have 10+ tabs open, so if that scales... ouch.

So try to open 10 tabs and see what happens lol.
Even if it does scale (which I don't think it will scale exactly proportional) I don't see the problem unless you have 30-40 tabs open :P
