What exactly do you mean by “all features enabled”? The RAM usage is mostly determined by the program you need to write and how you write it. I have many programs written in CHICKEN Scheme running on a 32bits ARM machine with only 512 MB of RAM, they all take between a few hundreds of KB and to a few tenths of MB.
