Gecko has always used more ram than the OS.
On my p133 with 32MB of RAM (running mandrake linux, Enlighenment DR0.15 CVS built weekly), Mozilla milestones would constantly swap out to disk while running, due to the massive RAM requirements.
My current KDE Plasma 5 system (Calculate Linux) uses about 300MB idle. Firefox (Same gecko core) is using 464MB of RAM right now with 7 tabs open.
I'm currently building servo (with browser.html) for the first time, and I expect similar RAM requirements.
