Huge memory usage

I love Opera, I think it's a great browser but why does it have to use so much memory?

When I look in the windows task manager I can see it's using nearly 300MB of memory. Even when I have just one tab open. And before you ask it's not youtube or some other video site like iplayer. I thought Opera prided itself on it's low memory footprint but it seems to be making a huge footprint.

The other problem I have is that it never shuts down properly. When I close opera and then reopen it later I get a message saying opera is still open, when I check the task manager I can see opera.exe is still in the memory. I have to click on end process to close it before I can open it again.

What's going wrong, is it something to do with java?
