I believe that just the ability to uncompress takes much less memory that
the ability to compress/uncompress (assuming compress is broken into
two versions for compressing and uncompressing).  I've also heard of
versions that use files instead of large amounts of memory.

Take at look at the source - I believe that it was quite easy to come up
with an uncompress only version that didn't need so much memory.
