Mostly I concur with you there... The faster we go and the more memory we
have available generally the code seems to get sloppier and larger out of
proportion with its actual abilities or function.

1Gb was sufficient probably back at XP, since then and with 64bit as opposed
to 32, more memory has become a bigger requirement. I'm poking about on a
Core2 Quad as the daily compute, and for a long time functioned quite happily
in 4Gb of RAM, but had to extend it to 8 after I started poking about in FO4.
4Gb left it swimming out in swap space far to much of the time, and the extra
RAM picked up the performance out of sight.
