47MB isn't an unreasonable amount of memory for a browser to use.
It's less than 2.5% of the minimum any sensible system will have, and
not worth the developers of any modern application trying to optimise
away. Memory is cheap, developer's time isn't.
Either expand your Risc PC to the maximum amount of memory it will take
(256MB) and put off the problem for another few hours, or face the fact
that an almost 20 year old computer with a fraction of the processor
power and memory of a low end smartphone, just wont cut it any more.
