The Contiki base system, without networking, takes about 15K on most
6502 based systems (using the current cc65 compiler). Add the uIP
module and I think we get around 25-30K, take or give.

The actual network hardware drivers, the selected window system (CTK)
and all applications are loaded dynamically off a diskdrive or so.

So yes, putting the base system in a ROM slot would probably free up
RAM for the dynamic parts and applications.
