Hi!
Probably most of the devels have not noticed http://drupal.org/node/34755 "when I enable all modules in core, the menu array eats over 800K of RAM". As we now have menu-otf which will be badly abused and (almost) all nodes will be put in the menu hierarchy instead of stuff like About Us, FAQ etc, we can look ahead for situations where someone locks himself out of his drupal cold after a node submission because the menu tree will grow too large. I know this can not be solved for 4.7, it's too late, but let's discuss it.
Yes, the menu system is memory intensive. I noticed it using the Zend Studio profiler. We are carrying a large array of data around from page to page, even though most of that array was not used on any given page. I think this is a good area to look at for improved performance. -- chrisxj
