I just came across the following in "Rumor Roundup" in this week's
_Digital_Review_, anyone care to comment?
"...a friend of mine who owns a VAX-11/730 called to say he's not
happy about the hidden costs associated with installing VMS
version 5.0. According to my friend VMS V4.6 took up about
15 percent of his system's memory, while he figures version 5.0
may take up as much as 40 percent of his system's memory.
Now my pal says the VAX-11/730 has only 5MB of memory..."

Out of 10240 pages that is more like 21 percent or so. I think that they were a little off in the Rumor Roundup.
