I have 227 browser tabs open, can open any of them instantly without even touching the network and my computer runs fine for weeks. Here's my secret:

Opera 12

Chrome and Firefox might have more dev time thrown at them, but when it comes to being well-engineered they have a LOOOOONG way to go yet.

I love Opera 12, but I believe it's no longer getting security updates -- I can't really recommend it because of that reason.
I don't recommend it to people, really. I know about the security updates and live with that risk, personally.

My main point was really that the article linked is a silly hacky workaround to a problem that would not exist in the first place if Chrome and Firefox were well written software.
