As far as memory consumption goes, roles wouldn't be my first worry. I
agree with you that a huge number of roles is not a good thing, but not
for the same reason. More basically, you very quickly begin to lose
track of whom is allowed to do what when you have too many roles.
One caveat though (got caught once, a long time ago - don't know if it's
still true, probably), if you have one single admin account which is
used for everything including creating roles, don't forget that a role
is given (and by default enabled) to its creator, so your admin account
may quickly bump into the limit.
