It isn't neglible, its a major overhead:

Compared to a lot of other libraries and apps out there, 3.7 MB of
RAM seems small, even though percentagewise here it's more than
doubling. Judging by observed memory footprints of gnustep apps,
several times more is taken up at runtime (by allocations or whatever
else) anyway, though perhaps loading is a little slower the first
time the .so goes into shared space. I always build gnustep "make -
OPTFLAG='-g -O2'", and also once I started delivering Emacs.app with
full debug symbols I started getting a lot more helpful bug reports.
