I've managed to get it up to 1270 MB in the last run now. A little
testing revealed that it really depends on the font indeed. When I run
with Arno Pro, an OpenType font containing roman, greek and cyrillic
in a wide variety of glyphs (sc, swash, etc) spread over 32 OpenType
fonts, I see such memory eating.

When I however use the Latin Modern opentype fonts or Tex Gyre Heros,
memory usage stays below 200 MB. Input file attached, ran with
lualatex. You'll need the new fontspec to run this correctly, see
http://github.com/wspr/fontspec. You can run with latin modern by
commenting out lines 15--17. Uncomment any of the lines to try those
different fonts.

This leads me to another point, for Khaled I guess. When I try to
compile with Futura Std (or Adobe Caslon Pro / Adobe Garamond Pro for
that matter), I get errors in fontspec (I think). last part of the log
so you can see how far it gets (with XeTeX it compiles fine):
