memory consumption
-----------------------------
this is a rough overview to memory consumption. this may and will
change in the future, you must not rely on these data.

(1) memory consumed by the histogram
(2) additional buffers for ExtractPalette()³.
n = number of color entries inside the histogram
¹ allocated dynamically
² allocated with CreateHistogram()
³ 8×n for the 68020 version

(1) Render(), ConvertChunky(), MapRGBArray(), RGBArrayDiversity(),
ChunkyArrayDiversity()
the memory will be allocated as soon as one of the above functions
is called. if the allocation fails, the palette falls back to the
next lower resolution.
the memory will be freed whenever the palette changes, i.e. when
ImportPalette(), ExtractPalette(), SortPalette() etc. are being
called. you may also call FlushPalette() at any time to manually
free these buffers.
