Hi Alan,

Yes, you're right if you have enough memory onboard.

But, for an embedded system, having a very low memory footprint is very 
important. So, if you can use just 4MB instead of 8MB, you have saved 
money and your embedded system is cheaper.

Cheers;

Pat.

PS: I missed you last year at the LSM in the system session at Amiens. I 
hopefully to see you one days...
