I seem to remember a thread on a Linux newsgroup about how this guy was seeing a 32MB file under his /proc or /dev filesystem and he had 16MB RAM.  

He wanted to reduce the size, so someone said "if you remove 16MB of RAM, that file will be only 16MB in size".  He kept on asking whether this would be a good idea or not...
