OW doesn't scale well when you use it heavily.  However I cannot  
compare it to other browsers since I cannot survive any more without  
Workspaces or thumb tabs.

I think with no history and only one browser with no thumbs it's  
reasonably fast.  But I usually have about 10 browsers some with 40  
or 50 thumbs.  Apparently this is considered "heavy."
