I agree with you, in theory it should be so. But in practice getting
rid of [unnecessary] virtual methods *does* help to reduce memory usage.
E.g. removing all printing methods (which I use for debugging only,
since there is no point in staring throw several-hundreds-megabytes
expression, compiling it as a C/C++/whatever code is hopeless too)
reduces memory usage by ~10% (and this was extremely important for us
due to 3Gb user-space VM limit).

Best regards,
 Alexei.
