A client I'm working with is developing an application in Smalltalk
V/Win32 and is concerned about the memory requirements of a run-time
application.  They need to have the program run in 8 Megs of RAM
without excessive swapping which could degrade performance to the point
that it's unusable.

What experience have people had developing large applications with
V/Win32?  What were the memory requirements?  What was the image size
(the V.EXE size)?  Did you need to do anything to reduce the amount of
RAM needed?  What did you do and how?

(I realize that information like this can't be generalized, but it's
still useful.)

Thanks in advance.
