  For Etoys, the memory usage grows only when you load a project or
instanciate widgets (give or take, when you display a compressed
bitmap, it expands automatically and eats more memory, etc.).  So,
about it will be 30MB and it will stay flat whatever you do.  We can
reduce the base size, if that is the priority.
