Yes, that would indeed be silly.  

I'm fortunate that my WRAP board has 128M of RAM, so I can set aside 16M or
32M without any problem, of which only about 4M is actually used by /var. 
In its current configuration, my system has 69M RAM free, so there's room
for expansion of either executables or MFS.
