WebKit2's main advantage is that it has one process by browser object, but as jaca said, it's not as much interesting for us as it could be on platforms with virtual spaces and memory protection.
With http://aminet.net/search?query=vmm would that give us some benefit? The source code is there. Sadly I could not get VMM to run on MOS so far because it always tells me for all applications that they are not running although I started them. I do not know why it says so. But maybe someone else can get it to run. Yes, this VMM program is a hack but maybe a good one for now because it will take some more years until we get real virtual memory in MOS.
It is said that VM was done for MorphOS ages ago already, but MorphOS team decided against adding it to MorphOS. AFAU mainly because it added no real beenfit as it has also the 1.5 GB limitation snd was rather slow.
But as there are machines that cannot upgraded to physical 1.5GB (mac mini, Efika,..) and SSDs changed the behavior (access speed) of hdds I would suggest a reconsideration about adding the option for VM eventually. Actually I experience quite a difference with my mini with 1 GB and my Powerbook with 1.5 GB. The latter virtually never runs out of mem, while with the mini this is an issue (let's not even start to talk about Efika...)

Whenever you're sad just remember the world is 4.543 billion years old and you somehow managed to exist at the same time as David Bowie.
