Mavericks does amazing things to memory usage. My machine has 4GB as well, and safari went from 1GB+ memory usage to 200MB memory usage for the same amount of tabs. Under ML, I was swapping constantly; now, no swap at all.

Did you count up all of the individual processes? Webkit is now finally on par with Chrome in that each tab is it's own running process.

Did update today, and it's certainly much snappier, it rarely hits the disk now.
