From what I understand, one could cache 100 web pages (obviously, 2mb is average, but there are much smaller and much larger than that) in about 200mb. 1GB could cache literally 500 web pages.

Another major factor that I haven’t seen mentioned here yet is simply sloppy programing. No one gives a rip about conservation of memory anymore when they can just blame the user for not having enough memory. Old code, unused code and bad programing practices just take up lots of space.
Keep in mind The entire Super Mario Brothers game was only 31kb, or 0.031 megabytes.
