 * this is a very extensive plugin, but it consumes way to much server ram. It’s
   reading 9+ mega on my server. WordPress itself is 14 mega. wp-e-commerce plugin
   is ok if that’s all you plan to use.
    Please lower the ram consumption. Let me
   know when it’s down to a reasonable ram consumption.

 * Hi Daiv, WP e-Commerce Plugin uses WordPress standards where possible, each release
   brings it even closer (e.g. Sales and Coupons joining Custom Post Types in a 
   future update). Reducing the memory footprint of this Plugin is a priority.
 * I’d be interested in knowing what the other e-Commerce platforms use as a benchmark(
   e.g. 100 Products, with variations, Pictures and File Downloads).
 * In the meantime, please raise your maximum memory allocation in PHP for your 
   WordPress site.

 * Thanx for the response,
    I would be interested to know if my reading of 9+ mega
   consumption is consistent with other users, with just the basic install and default
   products. I commend your transition of the various elements to use WordPress 
   standards. This is very good.
 * I understand that breaking a php project into on demand classes can reduce ram
   requirements, I’m trying to reduce the usage of my own plugins.
 * Yes raise memory, full system on this one project is running at 58 mega. A bit
   much…
