Well, here is a patch that simply incorporates jhb's figures. I'm cc'ing
both jhb and bmah (I beg pardon if this is inbox clutter), as I am certainly
not qualified to be authoritative on this, and don't wish to start any
forest
fires, either. I guess we point "minimalist" types to picobsd more often
now? After all, even a 24MB box is rather rare these days, I'd suspect....
