Hard to say. The full runtime shared library on win32-x86 is
220K. Libraries on risc machines are 2-3 times larger.

Our ARM-based embedded systems typically have 8-32MB memory so memory
footprint is not a major constraint. However, if your system does not
support shared library and have to run multiple processes on each
machine, the memory footprint could add up quite quickly.
