The interesting bit in my anal opinion is that in the last few releases the RAM needed approaches the size of the uncompressed pup_xxx.sfs. In the current alpha it actually surpasses it. I am curious as to what causes this. It looks like slackware compatibility cost a lot of ram. The current alpha sfs is only 63MB, less than that of 2.13 yet it needs significantly more ram to run.
