One of the reasons I am not a big Java-application fan. They are not exactly known to be gentle with memory usage.
The problem is that Java's actual memory usage (i.e. the memory requested from the OS) is largely outside the control of the application. The same goes for C#/.Net as well. Just try out SharpReader.

As an aside, I'm currently busy rewriting Sunrise in C++. The commercial version will use much less memory, run faster, and won't require Java. (Before you ask: no, it won't support Plucker.)
