We're trying to figure out the storage overhead for each object
we create in ObjectWorks. We vaguely remember seeing that an
object takes up a minimum of 8 bytes, but can't find the 
source. 

Anyone know? Any other overhead figures you can share, say for
dictionaries and hash tables? I'd also be interested in this
information for the Digitalk products.
