Not exactly.  It remains a goal for us, but at the moment Rakudo
developers are focused more on feature completeness, correctness, 
and speed.  We do expect to improve memory usage a great deal
(Jonathan Worthington's current efforts should help substantially 
here), but we don't want to essentially halt development in other 
areas to preserve a small memory footprint.

Also note that the discussion today was about the resources needed
to *build* Rakudo, not necessarily to run it once it has been built.
