While I initially agree with the rest of the comments, I'd like to
point out that this "weakness" you point out is shared by other
mainstream crap.  I have here a commercial java network oriented
server which has a RSS of 38M just after starting, while the squeak
image I'm developing on (ie, no shrinking at all) is 28M.

Bad for small apps, but still "competitive" for larger ones ;)
