No, I'm really not.

112 tabs right now.

That implies every tab is using around 73 MB's of RAM. That's ridiculous!

Do you have a certain tab that consumes more? Or an extension that's not friendly to memory (such as AdBlock). Regardless, 8 GB is not normal.

112 tabs isn't normal either, for an "average joe". Apple sells to, and caters towards, "average joe's".
