Since 2005-02-07 the following have been added to loadup.el:

+ (load "facemenu")
+ (load "emacs-lisp/syntax")
+ (load "font-lock")
+ (load "jit-lock")
+ (load "rfn-eshadow")
+ (if (fboundp 'x-create-frame)
+     (progn
+       (load "fringe")
+       (load "image")
+       (load "international/fontset")
+       (load "dnd")
+       (load "mwheel")
+       (load "tool-bar")))
+ (if (featurep 'x)
+     (load "x-dnd"))
+ (load "jka-cmpr-hook")
+ (if (fboundp 'x-show-tip) (load "tooltip"))

After deleting these the pure size used goes from 1200912 to 1086896
on my system (x86 Fedora Core 5). The bulk of it is due to the
font-lock related files.

Given that the above additions to loadup.el have added some desirable
functionality to the default emacs build, the increase in pure memory
use should be acceptable.
