Yeah, I don't know whether it's thanks to the new Qt or because they changed some default settings, but everything is much faster now, and so far nothing has been killed by OOM even when browsing heavy web pages with 10 other applications running. It feels brand new, more than three years after launch. Let's hope they keep this up.
