sure, but mu experience is that browsers of email clients are way more
demanding than tex when it comes to memory usage
for tex it depends how much memory is permitted (there are some maxima
that can be set in configuration files) ... i must say that I never run
out of memory, although with doing extreme torture tests with many fonts
one can come pretty close
