Yep - This is WAY too much memory.  Also note that most of the pages at
www.microsoft.com are ASPs which is replete with code - the code to text
ratio can be 3 to 1, even 4 to 1!

As I was putting the online SIGImage Ballot together for Ken, I was
considering using ASP (although the database was still going to be
TurboIMAGE, I was going to use NT as the gateway) until I saw the size of
the resultant files... needless to say, they hit the Recycle Bin.

Which is why although ASP is a good idea (processing is done on the server),
it kicks up the size of web pages way to high...
