My bookmarks bog them all down, too, but I *am* able to import them
successfully into other browsers (I've tried IE7, Firefox2, Firefox3,
& Opera, FWIW).  And while doing so they manage to only consume one
core rather than both.  Consuming both cores *and* failing doesn't
particularly impress me.  The benchmarks some people are claiming do
sound impressive, but the EULA questions & the lack of usable
bookmarks (for me) make it useless at the moment (as well as/esp. by
not having a currently functional Linux port, per their own build
instructions).  YMMV, IMO, etc. etc. etc.
