Well, there's always a memory vs. speed tradeoff here. Of course, we 
could optimize for using as little memory as in any way possible, which 
just would mean a very significant cost in speed, depending on how far 
we go. I tend to think of this in terms of "buying memory is cheap, 
buying time isn't".
