Memory usage is at somewhat acceptable levels during themes (100~200MB), but it remains at 100MB when launching a game. This is too high, especially for some platforms like Raspberry Pi's.

Some investigation is needed to find out what is consuming so much memory, and reduce it.

Using malloc_trim showed some great memory reductions when launching themes. A custom engine patch can be done to introduce this, but need to investigate if this is Linux-specific or it can be applied to all 3 OSes.
