1. Do you use 3rd party modules?
2. This request served by nginx (e. g. static files) or proxied to some backend?
3. Memory usage depends on used features: SSL, SSI, gzip, limt rate, geo module, 
e. t. c.

If gzip is used for static files, better to pre-compress them, and use 
ngx_http_gzip_static_module

Also yo save memory use 1 worker and set reasonable small limit on connections:

   worker_processes  1;

   events {
     worker_connections 512;
   }
