First of all, I would suggest you to measure the actual memory
consumption in order to take informed decisions.

If you are right and the new version takes a lot more memory, then I
find that a valid complaint, but there is not much I can do about it.
Upstream is definitely moving towards GTK-3+/WebKit2 (that's the reason
why I decided to provide the package in experimental), and even in
Debian libwebkitgtk-1 is being deprecated very soon, so there won't even
be an option to compile Midori as it is today.

I guess you have a few options if you really find the new Midori package
useless on older machines.  The first one would be to find a simpler
browser and use it only in these machines.  The second one would be to
maintain the old packages by yourself.

Thanks,
