Why do you want to keep memory allocation down? That's the point of
having memory - so your applications can use it! You shouldn't have to
worry about it unless you're using more than you have. And, ideally,
you should be on a 64-bit system so that you can more effectively use
the memory you have. ("effectively" in most cases, of course, not all)
