The 1GB of today was the 128MB of yesterday. I'm guessing in a year or two, games implemented on webgl will be a step up from farmville and require more than 1GB of memory to run well. IE9 still has a chance to catch up if they end up becoming the goto browser for gaming. And technically the memory issue has already been resolved if you read the comments in the bug posting. The next GC release won't have any of these drawbacks. So really the problem is isolated to any node projects currently in production.
