Nobody reported a profile yet, so we don't really know
where all memory goes. A first thing you might do
is running gprocessor to check wheter how memory 
usage of it compares with full 'gnash'. This would
give you an estimate of memory used in the *parser*.
When running full 'gnash' you'd be adding memory
used by *renderer* and *sound handler*.
Using the -r switch you can disable rendering 
or sound handling to fine-tune that comparison.

THe *parser* is the same for every configuration,
while *sound handler* and *renderer* are compile-time
options, so you will likely have different memory
footprints with different options.

Please let us know :)
