+- Reduce memory footprint
+  - Inside gnutls_global_init, the library allocates about 64 kb of
+    memory in almost 4000 calls to malloc. On my desktop, there are 22
+    processes using gnutls, meaning about 1.2 MB of memory usage from
+    this alone.
+  - Furthermore, gnutls has 24 kb of relocations in the shared
+    library. You can see this on a 2.6.16 kernel by reading
+    /proc/PID/smaps and looking for:
