- My env: contains 33226 bytes of files, but actually uses 138240 bytes
- because of the way filesystems work. If I had Env: in Ram: (I use
- statram, which has a block size of 512, as opposed to Ram:'s 1024)
- then env: would swallow 247808 bytes.
-
- Even a 1 byte file in ram: will take 1k to store.
