If by "Web apps" you mean the HTML5+Javascript apps that they have said it will be able to run, then that doesn't make sense at all.

"web apps" as you describe them will eat up far more resources than the equivalent app coded natively. If Palm in the future allow "real" native apps I would expect the resource usage to fall for apps with the same functionality, not rise.
