Think about that... an app that is providing basically minor, or secondary
functionality to a system, much of which should be backgrounded anyway, is
sucking up to 5mb in all it's glory....doing nothing. 3mb is still a bit
much. I could accept 1mb in this day of GUI apps.

I agree with Geo - strip the fancy stuff out and make a lite version.
