Architecture / Installation

I run Tiki at a hosted domains (at http://hostrocket.com) where the PHP memory is only 8MB and I haven't had any problems related to that. So it seems this might or might not be an issue for any particular installation.

If there is a memory-related problem, the symptoms are things like pages not displaying fully, IIRC. I don't think there's anything specific concerning Google bots, unless of course the pages aren't displaying sufficiently to be indexed.

I don't know of if this is considered a Tiki problem to be fixed, near-term at least, since a server configuration change (or hosting company change) will solve it.

Mediawiki also likes more memory, from what I read.

I think, though, that it really depends on how many modules, and which ones, your Tiki will use.
