Well yes, I know it is tight. But I chose xitami because I thought it
had a pretty low memory-footprint(?).

Current situation:
With "system monitor" w98 reports about 84Megs allocated, but this is
constantly changing/swapping to 87Mmegs and back to 83Megs.

Why on earth would xitami (the only programming 'running') be
allocating memory and freeing memory so often?
Like, what's the xitami footprint on the memory?

I have disabled the debug-, log-, server-, error-reporting to see if
it matters, but that's hardly the case.
And I can't imagine that looking for a file makes a system running the
harddisk this often :-]

Ok that's probably it.. I have thought about changing to Linux as
well..
