 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....
