I use two profiles - my main one, in which I basically allow no Javascript, cookies or Flash, for most of my basic browsing, and I often have dozens of tabs open in it. The only downside that I've experienced is that on startup, it can take a while to open all those tabs (when I've saved a session with many open tabs). I also have a second profile, where I allow some cookies (whitelisted sites, and per-session only), some scripts (whitelisted sites, some permanently, some on a session by session basis) and Flash (but a site that wants Flash will first have to pass through my two lines of defense: NoScript and FlashBlock). In this second profile, I frequently do a "Clear all private data", and often restart it, for good measure, to keep contamination to a minimum ;) I don't generally see memory / CPU problems with my main profile, but I sometimes do with the secondary one. Nothing that restarting it won't fix, though, and as I've explained, I keep most of my open tabs in the other profile, so restarting the secondary one is no big deal.
