You're memory is working fine, but I don't think the way eggs are used accomplishes that.

The measurements that supported that performance assertion were made by putting the standard library in a single ZIP, and using that.

I don't have measurements handy, but I recall being told by someone who did that using a *lot* of separate ZIP files wasn't as effective.
