Not commenting on the performanace of SC as opposed to any other
software, but as someone who fondly remembers the days of Spectrums,
TRS80s and the BBC Micro (still in my attic!), I can't help but recall
some of the quite amazing games (eg Elite), spreadsheets, databases etc
that packed a huge amount into 16 or 32k of ram.

I tend to agree with previous posters that using 100mb (over 3,000
times more than 32k) of memory does seem excessive. It's not
exclusively an SC issue, but programming efficiency generally seems to
have been abandoned as availability of RAM has increased.
