On Palemoon 26.2.1 and Firefox 43.0.1 with
all plugins and addons disable on both browsers and with a clean profile the Palemoon's GDI Objects usage is far greater than Firefox or Chrome 49.0.2623.112 m. The machine run Windows XP SP3 and is mostly updated.
Firefox uses 93 GDI Objects to display that huge page at torstatus.blutmagie.de
Chrome use 99 GDI Objects
Palemoon use 327 GDI Objects

Besides when the browsers who hit the 1.5 GB - 1.8 GB RAM barrier tend to stale/crumble/freeze, I think this
GDI consumption is an issue. Wikipedia tell that
GDI is hardware accelerated on Windows XP, while on
Windows 7 "most primitive GDI operations" and GDI+
are not hardware accelerated.
