...well, unless you save the movie after doing that, you will still
be using a chunk of RAM, perhaps more if you have a lot of symbols
that have to be converted into strings. Changes have to be stored.
To get a rough idea of the RAM needed, store the freebytes before you
init your list, and then difference it with the freebytes afterwards.
At any rate, its not the number of items in the list that matters,
but the aggregate size of those items.
