IW, with NoScript, Flashblock, and other extensions as necessary, and
through privoxy for ad blocking and so on.  I use two profiles - my
main one, in which I basically allow no Javascript, cookies or Flash,
for most of my basic browsing, and I often have dozens of tabs open in
it.  The only downside that I've experienced is that on startup, it can
take a while to open all those tabs (when I've saved a session with
many open tabs).  I also have a second profile, where I allow some
cookies (whitelisted sites, and per-session only), some scripts
(whitelisted sites, some permanently, some on a session by session
basis) and Flash (but a site that wants Flash will first have to pass
through my two lines of defense: NoScript and FlashBlock).  In this
second profile, I frequently do a "Clear all private data", and often
restart it, for good measure, to keep contamination to a minimum ;)

I don't generally see memory / CPU problems with my main profile, but I
sometimes do with the secondary one.  Nothing that restarting it won't
fix, though, and as I've explained, I keep most of my open tabs in the
other profile, so restarting the secondary one is no big deal.
