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! /s
