It seems like there have just been some assumptions going both ways.
This all started when someone trashed RDBMS for being "heavy", implying that Mongo is good because it's light.
Why would you care how heavy a DB is if it's not on the client side? The kind of memory and storage you need for even the heaviest popular RDBMS (MySQL?) is still low enough that's nearly free to create a small app.
