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.
