I use firefox. It seems to do lazy restoration of tabs, which makes it somewhat more performant.
Indeed. I have significant experience of this as I operate the same way as Luke, so have hundreds of tabs in 50-odd windows at any one time.
If only there was a better option...

I should try Chromium sometime. Chrome itself is no longer supported on 32-bit Linux.
I have not used chromium enough to determine if it better in this 'slowdown' regard.
I have, chromium uses lots of memory, just like FF. It has even worse troubles when it comes to more than 10 yabs. As for a slowdown over the course of several days, I've not tried it because of the above problems.
I hate the way there aren't any cross-browser bookmarks. Another form of lock-in.
If you are OK with remote bookmarks then you can use them from both chromium and firefox (e.g. google bookmarks), and it's quite easy to transfer them in either direction, but I don't know of a local, open, bookmark-store mechanism.
XBEL is an xml format for bookmarks. Elinks can use it, I don't know about FF or chromium.
