On Debian Lenny, running GNOME, I usually use epiphany.
But I've had so many bad experiences with epiphany on Squeeze
that I switched to iceweasel.  I don't seem to be experiencing the
memory problems that you are experiencing.  I'm using the i386
architecture, and my machine has only 512M of RAM, and I'm not
experiencing any performance problems.  Of course, my browsing
load is fairly light: typically only one browser instance, or
two at the most, is open, and typically five or six tabs at the
most are open.  I do use flash a lot (not by my choice), but it
performs adequately too.

Maybe I'll give epiphany another chance in a few years,
but the transition from gecko to webkit has been a rough transition
for epiphany.  Many things were broken in the process,
and I'm not sure that they're all fixed yet.
