Yup.  The way you make more space for bitmaps is by using less space
for everything else.

Well, that's the interesting question: how much memory are you
*actually* spending on bitmaps?

There isn't a good tool for figuring that out at this time.  There is,
however a somewhat bad one: you can parse the GC events out of the
event log.  The process is described here:

I'm going to try to throw something together in python or C that does
the number-crunching on the log.
