Application wouldn't eat approx 120MB of RAM on reaching the desktop.

There must be dynamic areas allocated, for example a 64MB RAM disc. That 
would be pointless on VRPC , as all filing system operations will be 
cached in Windows memory, making them just as fast as a RAM disc.

There must also be a ton of other stuff which doesn't need to be run on 
start-up.
