You have an instance of iexplore.exe for every IE window you have open. A blank window uses about 9 or 10 MB of memory, one with lots of site [or other] content will naturally use a lot more. That is the beauty of a tabbed browser like Opera or Firefox - only one process to handle all the various webpages you have open on tabs.
