I suppose if you did it in parallel 50 processes, you could use
up 250MB of RAM.  Still not a big deal on many servers.  A
decent OS will swap regions that aren't being used to disk, so
it's likely not to be a problem.  

If you're talking several hundred instances, you could start to
use up serios amounts of VM. Still, I say do it the simple,
obvious way first, and optimize it _after_ you've determined
you have a performance problem (and determined where the
bottleneck is).  Premature optimization...
