<pre>Epiphany 3.16.2 using WebKit 2.8.3
(I have no idea what those version numbers in this bugzilla form mean, sorry!)
Using <a href="https://plus.google.com/+ZeeshanAli/posts">https://plus.google.com/+ZeeshanAli/posts</a> as a test case:
Just loading that page, Epiphany eats ~270 MB of RAM for that WebKitWebProcess.
Then, as you start scrolling down, by the time you reach posts dated March 2015 the memory usage has ballooned to ~500 MB and more!
Somehow, Firefox (according to about:memory) manages to keep the page at <100 MB at all times. Chrome (on Windows) starts around 90 MB and grows as you scroll, but much more slowly (around 120-130 MB when you reach the same spot where Epiphany/WebKit is in the 500 MB's)</pre>
