Answer 1

You might want to try other drivers such as HtmlUnitDriver or ChromeDriver, if you do need Firefox try different versions, the firefox 8 alpha/beta takes half the ram. If you are not, try to maintain your seleminum session for multiple uses and websites as the display.start() browser = webdrive() to browswer.quit() overhead is quite high and slows things down. Also you can try using the vncserver method described here or Python and QtWebKit as this describes
