I don't know if this has been discused before but....

Why does /bin/sh allocate 8.63 Mbytes of memory?!  What does this do to
the performance of the NeXT?  /bin/csh only allocates 1.01 Mbytes.  On
all of the other Unix machines I looked at, none of them came even close
to wanting a megabyte of memory.
