It's just something we haven't paid particular attention to recently,
since it didn't seem very important. We were more intent on providing
functionality.
Space usage mostly has to do with the simple-mindedness of the garbage
collector as well as the fact that you're loading a full development
system. We are working on the GC, but it'll be a while until that
stabilizes sufficiently. I agree we need to do something about
startup speed; that's also closely related to the GC issue.
