Hi!

I mean memory when running, file size is not much bigger.
I agree with you, but no matter how many instructions it takes
to do something, it still should not consume like 10-20 megabytes more
than on a pc. The code is perhaps bigger (by 20k max), but the memory 
footprint should not really be .. However it could be because of some
architectural difference, but what would that be ?

yes, I forgot to tell that the difference is 10-20 megabytes :)
not just a few kbytes in which case you would be right
