Tatu, how did you measure the memory usage?
I don't doubt that it's worse than jdk1.1.8 (which: IBM's?  Blackdown's?) -
but almost twice it shouldn't (have to) be.

Did you try the -mx switch?  Note that kaffe tries to use up 
to 64 MB by default.  (The -mx switch may not work properly in kaffe, 
however.)
