On top of Tomas' suggestion, you may be able to use the Web Inspector [1]
remotely, and if you are using WebKitGTK+ 2.20 or newer the “Layers” tab [2]
is a very handy tool to figure out how Web content is broken down into
graphics layers, their sizes, how much memory they take, and so on. This is
particularly handy to find out whether Web applications themselves are to
blame for high memory usage :)
