Ok, so the non-sharable part is about what you would accept as an
applet's consumption ?

Further, there are ways to make the applets share the python process
space, which would make them share a big chunk of the 10 MB
non-shareable space.

But I'm a little confused as to what alternative you are proposing
exactly - are you saying that all applets should be written in C until
the end of time ? I don't see any other way to avoid incurring some
memory "loss" for applets.
