Which revision of WebKit are you using?  The 8MB RegisterFile capacity  
was dropped to 2MB back in <http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/34966>.   
That revision should also indicate how you could further decrease the  
RegisterFile capacity.  I'll let someone with greater understanding of  
the JSCore VM indicate the consequences of decreasing this value, if  
any.
