I've been noticing that VB.NET is a huge memory pig.

Can anyone tell me why even a "Hello world" program consisting of 1 form and 1 label would need to take up 7 meg of ram?? That is after it has been compiled for release.

Because the .NET framework libraries are rather large DLLs. The bad news is there're large. The good news is they're shared between all .NET applications running.

Yes.

Also applies to any other .NET program which uses similar using/import statements (System.IO, System.Text, etc).
