This page on HN has 5 lines of inline JavaScript. It downloaded ~25KB of content, over 5 HTTP requests (HTTP/2 even), 3 of which are images, all of which are GIF images < 100 x 100.
This tab is consuming 98 MB of RAM. I am in incognito mode, with no plugins.
While crazy site do crazy things with JS and have crazy bad user experiences (TMZ.com makes 700+ requests and takes over 90seconds to load), 98 MB of ram for a HN tab is ridiculous. This has very little to do with JS.

No an average HN page consumes less than 20MB on my computer. And you didn't tell us how much RAM TMZ.com is consuming, 165MB on my computer (a 4GB RAM , quad core N2940 laptop), so 8 times more RAM.
