Dude, its on the internet, and it has graphs. I don't know how much more true it can be.

On a purely anecdotal level, for me its using less memory on average every time I take a gander at it. I used to run around 150-180 or so in FF2. FF3 uses about 120 or so on average. Also, I haven't noticed a need to restart Firefox as much as I used to. Also, I use FF differently and open and close tabs all day long, rather than keeping a static set open for fun.
