This is precisely what I did with a copy of Borland C# Builder-- a GUI
app consumed somewhere between 7-12 MB with just some basic components
on it. A console app consumed I think 6 MB just sitting there after
having done a WriteLine followed by a ReadLine. Not sure how you got
20 MB, but even starting out with a base of 6-7 MB is pretty offensive.
I'd hate to see what a full app would use memory-wise.

Like you, this is just an observation, I know Task Manager isn't
scientific and may not be accurate in this case-- what I'd welcome is
an explanation of why this isn't a problem and how much memory is it
really using? (Again, empty form and a plain console app, nothing else
thrown in.)
