You are very correct. That's why are first Zope Virtual Hosting Machine
will have between .5GB-1GB of memory to start with. But it only took me 5
minutes to get the process to swell up to 18MB. That means some
industrious/mallicious user could conceivably swell theirs up to 100MB
even the full GB and then nobody else would get to play.
