I see everybody throwing around a single number, but memory isn't just a single number. There's actually 4 components - real and virtual memory, and private vs. shared for each. What I tend to see is about 25MB of real memory (that's shared + private) and 25MB of virtual memory when I check my installation. What would be even more important would be the real *private* memory, that's how much RAM is dedicated to that process alone (shared includes things like loaded libraries and such, memory that's shared between processes), but I'm not sure the proper switches for `ps ` to get that with the OS running on my host.

The thing is, 50 MB might or might not be right -- it's hard to judge
without knowing what Typo is loading. But if other applications can be
around 30 MB (including mine), then that extra 20 MB should be for
something that justifies that much memory. Right now, I'm not sure what you could load that would take up 20 MB to display a few pages. If it's intentional, we should document it, but it might not be intentional, in
which case it deserves a look.

By the way, the behavior of my Typo is interesting. When it first runs,
it's around 30MB (before any controllers are invoked). After the first
page load, it goes up to 50MB.  I load a bunch of pages and it's still
at 50 MB.  A day or so later, it'll be at 52 MB (during the time I've
checked, it hasn't been up for more than about a day), and I'm pretty
sure that no pages besides the ones I loaded earlier are being hit.
