Congratulations!

What's the memory usage like compare to earlier versions?

Looking at that bug, one problem with implementing the nonstandard "mousewheel" event is that the browsers that implement it have different behavior in terms of what the delta value means, so sites using it tend to do browser sniffing to decide how to handle it. Which means implementing it is likely to break sites unless you exactly match the UA string and behavior of some other browser.

Given that, and given that Firefox does support the per-standard "wheel" event, what is the argument for implementing "mousewheel"?

No, I posted it in the right place. Tepix subsequently edited his/her comment, as far as I can tell. The comment I was replying to, about "mousewheel" events, is certainly no longer in evidence.

Sorry about that, i changed my comment because it was obsolete and i could no longer delete it.

Next time it might make sense to make it clear that the comment was edited and how... ;)
