I've noticed this as well..  on  Dual G4 with 1gb ram..   Safari is a  
memory hog..   and what made me notice is this..   as I've always  
done, leaving my computer on 24/7  a few documents open, a few  
browser windows open etc..  if I leave Safari alone for a bit, then  
go back to it to view a web page, it can take Safari what seems to be  
a really long time before it "wakes" back up.   Apparently trying to  
get all it's memory in order..

Currently Activity Monitor shows Safari with virtual memory of 1.69  
GB,  kernel_task with 820.95MB and iTunes with 245MB
just seems like that would mean a whole lot of swapping going on ?
