BTW...max ram is not a luxury. You may be called upon to
document an application in it's development stage that is not
memory efficient. I'm working on one now that uses enough memory
that RobHTML and the application cannot exist together in 92mb
ram. I have no question that it will be optimized, but sometimes
in the beginning, it isn't.
We should have those problems.
