  Uh... data uses memory.  The more data you have, the more memory you use.

  This is 2012.  If you care about memory usage, you're either (a)
caring about the wrong thing, or (b) in a constrained system.

  It depends on what you want to do.

  My guess is that you're optimizing the wrong thing.  This is
demonstrated by the fact that you're *not* talking about a problem.
You're talking about a solution.

  e.g. rather than saying "will 10K users fit into 100Mb of RAM?",
you're saying "I'm using the users file... is it OK?"
