Here, on our 3B2/310 running 3BNET and SVR3.0,

$ size /unix
2044(.gate) + 188816(.text) + 25804(.data) + 4208(boot) = 220872

with no mention of bss whatsoever.  This is a pretty vanilla system, with no
changes to the default configuration.  I'm not exactly sure how much memory
we've got.  220K doesn't seem too bad to me, especially compared to the numbers
quoted above.
