Hello,

Can you help me clarify something?
When I build "daemon" applets into Busybox, I'm wondering about the ram usage. 
Building applets into Busybox generally helps "flash" usage. But when you build 
applets that're meant to run 24/7 (eg. like init) it seems to be a poor trade 
on my system? Eg. a program like init might take up something like 50k flash 
when built as a standalone. When built as Busybox applet it takes almost 
nothing. But when executing it, the ram usage seems to be [Busybox flash size + 
local ram allocations]. Meaning that instead of 50k ram, it takes up 350k. Or 
so my top command reports. Is this true? Is it only my system (Blackfin based) 
that works this way?
Is there a way to change this?
