Subject: Setting aside temporary heap space while loading INIT?

I am writing an INIT which locks a good deal of code and
resources into the system heap. Because I use a fair amount
of space, I want to make to allocate as little space as I
absolutely can. At the moment, it takes about twice as much
space in the sys heap to get everything loaded than the final
blocks I leave behind actually occupy. Since the amount of 
heap space designated with the SYSZ resource is permanent,
what kind of strategies can I employ in order to keep separate
those memory requirements which are 1) temporary - for
setting things up, and 2) permanent - the actual patch and
associated resources which remain lock in the sys heap? Any
help appreciated; I will keep scouring IM and other sources in
the meantime :-)
