  You can run GNUemacs under MOTIF without paging in 32MB per user... 
Perhaps it's stuff like that. Actually I bet the compiler takes more
than your 100k, but I'd bet I can run hours at a time without getting a
process over a single MB.

  I'm unhappy with application bloat, too. MicroEmacs <120k even with
some extensions and enhancements (and three sets of bug fixes).
