We're not talking about memory usage when your app is installed, we're
talking about when you *delete* your app, what droppings does it leave
behind. Using an alternate creator ID leaves one big stinking, steaming
pile of stuff behind. Using a database for your prefs does not, because
the DB is removed when your app is removed.
