The design of Analog is such that it shouldn't use noticably more memory than the executable size plus the size of the log file(s) and/or cache file(s) (and usually far far less). There is only one exception that I can think of, the dnscache file is loaded into RAM on startup, whatever it's size.

For example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system. -- Peter van der Linden, Expert C Programming, Deep C Secrets +------------------------------------------------------------------------ | This is the analog-help mailing list.
