People always mention more memory usage as a bad thing, but with Moore's Law slowing down, we are being forced to find other ways to speed up computation. One of those ways is trading memory usage for performance via look up tables, caching, duplication, less compact data storage, etc. I would expect memory usage to rise significantly as long as memory technology advances quickly while clockspeeds remain flat.
