Phoenix 0.2 Web Browser: Lean, Mean Mozilla (LinuxOrbit)

Linux Orbit reviews the Phoenix 0.2 Web Browser. "Depending on what you are looking for in a web browser, Phoenix may be just the ticket. Though still in heavy development, it's fast, snappy, surpassingly stable, somewhat configurable and very useable. If it's not what you are looking for now, check back from time to time as new features seem to be added on an almost daily basis."

How lean? How mean?

How fast does it load? How much memory does it save? Why can't a review written for a technical audience quantify its assertions with real numbers? Sigh.

How lean? How mean?
