Yep -- setrlimit(2) ("ulimit -m" in zsh), specifically

   RLIMIT_RSS      The maximum size (in bytes) to which a process's resident
                   set size may grow.  This imposes a limit on the amount of
                   physical memory to be given to a process; if memory is
                   tight, the system will prefer to take memory from pro-
                   cesses that are exceeding their declared resident set
                   size.

I'll have to do some experimenting to see how Safari responds to
being put on a diet.  Hate software?  Don't get mad, get even!
