Yes, I use xrn an a machine with 64MB, and it used up to 10MB. I have no idea
how it is possible to waste so much memory, but I stick to it because the interface
is nice.

When it used 10MB of memory, I had more than 100 groups subscribed.
I unsubscribed all groups I never read, that reduced the memory waste
to about 5MB.
