Unless Apple surprises us with an iOS 5 update that includes a browser with web assembly - no, it won't help.

Either way, simply going to spiegel.de crashes (!) Safari in a 1st gen iPad. The Washington Post web page also would constantly get reloaded in my iPhone 4S.

Sounds like it may be due to Safari purposefully limiting the memory and processing resources available to a browser tab, no?
