On (1), the memory layer has been entirely rewritten since 2011. It used to be a combination of MMAP and on-heap caching; mmap in java being notoriously terrible and caching on the heap being even worse. The memory layer now works similar to postgres, with a user-space page cache managing blocks of RAM. So: It's certainly changed, and in my experience much for the better.
On (2), yes, the little UI now requires a username/password, and it supports HTTPS. HTTP remains available, defaulting to localhost access.
