Just a general question about all this: How much overhead would this
add? I think that this could be a neat feature, but I worry that this
might possibly make memory usage go up considerably, which is a Bad
Thing(TM) if there does not exist an option to turn this feature
on/off. As it stands, one of the main things I like about Epiphany is
its minimalism, and this would be a feature that would take away from
that a bit.

Don't get me wrong, I would probably use the feature (at least on my
desktop) since I don't really have a memory issue, but I think it
would be good to keep up on the lower memory usage in Epiphany versus
Firefox (Disclaimer: The last statement is based only on personal
experience... I haven't really seen any real data on this).
