There's no log, but you might guess by watching top. Are you using firefox? It handles low memory by segfaulting. The default staff limit of 1.5GB is usually good for some basic text websites. If you need to look at more complicated sites, you might try raising the limit beforehand. I find 4GB (ulimit -d 4123123) to work reasonably well.
