...but this was already cherry-picked in 2.14.3:

              ----------------------------------------
What's new in WebKitGTK+ 2.14.3?

  - Create GLX OpenGL contexts using version 3.2 (core profile) when available to reduce the memory
    consumption on Mesa based drivers.
  - Improve memory pressure handler to reduce the CPU usage on memory pressure situations.
  [...]
