When Google Chrome was patched for Spectre, it caused a 10-13% increase in RAM consumption (https://security.googleblog.com/2018/07/mitigating-spectre-with-site-isolation.html).

Have the Firefox patches for Spectre and Meltdown caused any impact on performance or resource consumption?

They likely have, but by a small amount. Either way, those are dangerous exploits that needed to be fixed.
