I think we should make measuring this and getting product sign-off a
requirement of riding the trains beyond nightly.  The decision should weigh
the cost/benefit, though.  We probably need to accept some memory
regression for the benefits we are getting.  We just need to go in with
eyes open.

In general I think processes that rely on native code vs chrome script will
do better here.  My impression is that the chrome script js heaps make it
more difficult for the processes to share memory compared to native code
pages.  I could be wrong, though.
