Hi Dj,

It's not a dumb question, but I haven't seen too much discussion about
it either. The only time really severe resource usage occurs is when
you have *lots* of data (e.g. tens of thousands of items in blocks) or
when you have a View app that creates a large number of faces
dynamically. One of the nice things about REBOL is really *not*
worrying about those details most of the time. :)
Do you have a specific situation you're dealing with?
