If you want a small app revert to assembler ;)
XP is a virtual memory system. A programs memory footprint is not static.
The RAM footprint reported by XP is not actual. The cost of reducing the RAM
footprint of a reasonably well written Delphi gui application is, IMO,
rarely worth it, presuming an application is gui. It makes much more sense
to spec a more robust computer, in my neck of the woods a P4 2.54, 256MB,
40GB machine sells for less than 300USD. Give me a break, one would have to
be deploying thousands of units before it would be cost effective to save a
couple hundred MB in memory footprint.
