I've got a 500Mb laptop with firefox on XP and a 1Gb system running debian with
iceweasel.

Those are what I'm using where I see a problem but it seems just about any apps
these days have similar issues.
I have no idea how the codes or architectures compare but normally ideas seem
to diffuse, code and algorithms get
copied, and common problems recur. I wanted to use webkit for some specific
things, hope to contribute, and many have mentioned memory issues here too.
This is just something I'd like to avoid unless it is already a known
non-problem.
I guess I could go get Chrome and try it out.
