No, TAD just allocates that much, I don't know why or how much of that it
actually needs, but it does grab quite a bit.  I could just run other stuff
first and let it grab what it needs (for instance, I use a 1MB review buffer
for VLT, so I run VLT first then TAD if I want both to be running at the same
time).  It's really strangehow TAD allocates all that memory, but all I'm doing
is either looking at files, or converting them to IFF.

I really like TAD though (I had to throw that in!)
