Memory is cheap but that does not mean we should waste it. We "waste" enough time on making sure we don't leak memory. I think we can afford some time to save memory for our users. You know what. The person who works on this the most is Adam Kennedy. He does this because he wants his computer to do more for him. So let him scratch his itch. Oh and my netbook has 1Gb and besides Padre I'd also like to be able to load other things as well.
