iOS7 is unlikely be be less memory hungry than previous versions wink but I cannot say how detrimental iOS7 is. There are a lot of changes under the hood with iOS7 that users simply will not notice of which the 64bit mode on iPhone 5S (and I assume forthcoming iPads) will hopefully alleviate the problem for good. *if* ios7 is optimised for 64 bit, then in my experience, data structures are often realigned to make 64 bit access optimal. This realignment typically adds padding (ie unused space) to data structures which will have a bigger overhead on RAM.
