Actually I meant both... don't tell me that Emacs with its bloated binary 
consumes less space than Jed... of course Jed can be a memory hog too 
since it's a DJGPP-compiled program. But (unless I'm way off, correct me 
if I'm wrong) a smaller binary means that much less memory consumed. 
Which then translates to more memory for the compiler.
