It would be interesting if we'd create an example in C and Java, and make a comparison. Let's put
this in our TODO list. I think those numbers are "normal": gtk itself takes lots of memory, and
there's also the VM (mainly the garbage collector). Currently JG is going through a major memory
management improvement, though.
