Unfortunately at this point it does take a bit of memory if you use a lot of
hairs, but I am looking into ways of reducing that.  On the other hand, I
have run my tests with maxxed out settings... for example, the number of
segments has been set to something like 100, meaning each hair has 1200
triangles.  Also, I used separate textures for each triangle which chews up
memory pretty fast.  If you drop the number of segments and use a single
texture for the entire hair, then it's no more memory intensive than, say,
Gille's makegrass.
