That's the interesting topic. You know, when you develop/tune/deploy any
application, you should define a trade-off for yourself: speed or
memory? In this case, you might go for reduced memory consumptions and
tune Cocoon to use as less memory as possible. Following ways can be
used, from the top of my head:

 - Remove all unnecessary components from the configuration.
 - Remove memory storage completely, and if you have enough HD space -
use persistent storage instead.
 - Remove stylesheets caching.
 - Decrease component pool sizes, to as low as 1.
 - something else? May be, smaller/cut down versions of xerces/xalan?

As a result you can get "Cocoon Micro Edition", or "Cocoon for Embedded
Applications" ;)

It is configurable, you can always keep stores in shape :)
