Only very few kilobytes (if at all). Most of these options will be gone
with the 2.4 release. I guess the best way to save even more memory is
to use an old release with a smaller binary. I'd try one of thr 1.24x
releases. If flexibility is not the thing you want the best place to
save memory is the size of the executable.
