Think about it: having an application you run a short time do not really
impact on your available memory, so it's not a real issue on
"low-memory" system (like mine: 224 Megs are not much memory these
days), but long-running ones do.
Please read my previous emails. Designing everything in C will not help.
Evolution, OpenOffice and Firefox are evidence that writing your app in C
does not make it memory efficient. In the long term, a moving GC may be
beneficial.
At some point, we also have to realize that users with less memory do need
to make compermises. For example, such a user might want to choose not to
use Beagle.
