Thanks, I didn't know that and I was sure that a hundred thousand user
instances cannot use up that much memory. Now I've done some measurements with
(gc :full t) and (room) and it seems I was wrong. Those hash tables in the
initforms take ~1000 bytes each :-( even with :size 1 which is apparently
ignored.
