I thought my example described just that. If strings use 4 bytes per
char then ASCII text will need 4 times more memory.
I am not disputing that.
What I am curious about is: 4 times of what?
It is not hard to tell that an app that works with text files (such as
Lazarus) will consume 4 times more memory per file loaded.
But, how much memory does, say, Lazarus --itself-- consume specifically
for string storage when run for the first time?
This is what I am after.
