     I wonder whether we should introduce some kind of dynamic way of setting
     the default workspace, for example as a fraction of the RAM in the
     system.  Currently it always defaults to 64 MB.

I suppose we could read /proc/meminfo at regular intervals and make some
intelligent estimate on how to set the workspace.

I wonder what the goal should be?  To keep MemFree to a particular value ??
