[sage-devel] Memory footprint

[Jori Mantysalo]

What Sage actually loads to memory at startup? It seems that every 
instance of Sage 6.6.rc3 (from CUI, no GUI at all) eats almost 100 MB.

This means that for 30 students we need 3 GB of memory -- for the two 
hours they are having exercises at a class. That would be no problem with 
some memory ballooning system at virtual servers -- but that we don't 
have. Now it is annoying.

And to make this worse, SageNB seems to left ssh connections (and so, 
processes) open even after the studen has stopped worksheets and logged 
out.
