btw I have 2 or 3 tables of lists (small lists, but lists).

FWIW, even very small lists are tremendous memory hogs. There’s some discussion of it here; as zarf says:

@zarf

Lists are memory-hoggy because I7 doesn’t just reserve memory for the data, it reserves memory for how much you might expand the lists dynamically during the game. Of course it’s only guessing about this, and it doesn’t know when you create a list that you intend to never expand. The memory usage increases in jumps, so I’m not sure how to estimate it (estimating I7’s estimate!) but that’s what’s going on.

I made a game that basically had nothing in it but tables of lists (one room, eight objects I think, a couple of relations, 52 lists) and it blew right past the z-machine memory limits. (Don’t worry if that doesn’t mean anything to you – what I mean is, it ate up a lot of memory.)
