I think many issues are memory/resource related yes.

few things point to this.

1 - very low default timeout values (indicates a low capability of connection capacity).
2 - issues I get with port forwarding on and even when just using DMZ.
3 - issues people have had using gigabit speeds stressing the unit.

a new firmware may well fix these issues tho as firmware updates can achieve wonderful things even on poor hardware. I have seen poor routers turn decent with new firmware and good routers turn poor with firmware updates. One thing that will probably never change is the lack of features (will stay too dumbed down), but I like to think the bugs and reliability will be fixed.
