Comment (by cb88):
120MB is bloaty to the point of ridiculous though... even if it isn't a
memory leak per se.
I assume this has something to do with how data structures that are needed
to implement a single coherent filesystem out of all the packages are
implemented... perhaps the packages themselves could restructured so that
the data structures that are needed can just be mmaped directly from the
hpkgs and leave the rest up to cache instead of actually loading things
into memory. If it already does that then it seems there is some other
problem...
I guess any shine through R/W files might cause overhead as well?
