Thanks for testing :) I'm not really afraid about the memory usage at
start up, it should be near 60 Mo "naked". Problem can be when using
it :)
No installation for now, until bug 497441 is fixed. And it's still build
with Lucid, which is still in a very early stage of development :)

Regards,
Julien Lavergne
