	Well, on your sparc and a lot of systems, it won't even go to
swap, since the OS will just page from the binary.  So even running 1000
emacsen won't eat 10M of your swap. ;)

	If we're only talking about 50-200k, I'm with the camp that
would rather see reasonable builds always work, than shave off a little
space.

	On the otherhand, every little bit helps with a pig like emacs.
