Be aware that (as previously stated) each memory allocation (depending on the
compiler) can have a significant overhead. The memory has to be tracked by the
compiler's run time library, and POVRAY also adds an overhead.

FWIW, the overhead for POVWIN is about 20 bytes, plus that of the run-time
library (perhaps another 20 bytes?) Also don't forget that each object can use
multiple memory allocations, depending on what you do with them.
