JRE is about 5megs or so.

And as I've shown in this thread already:
http://www.terrainformatica.com/org/j-smile/index.htm

j-smile-demo is

JavaVM + GUI ruintime = 200k.
Set of .class files of the demo app = another 200k.

All together  = 400k.

This example deomstrates that JavaVM can be made small enough
to be bundled with application code eliminating need of JRE at all.

> 2. JVM is a memory hogg.

Bad design of GUI libraries. Not more.
