On my machine, "emacs -Q" uses this much memory on start (according to pmap):
total 363448K
After M-x org-mode, the same process is using:
total 372916K
The difference is 2.6 percent.

I guess it's just a matter of someone writing the code to make it happen.

Oh, okay. I based this statement on that I have seen almost no (or
very few) recommendations of outline-mode over the years, while Org
mode seems to be everywhere. But of course this is mostly anecdotal.

OK, I agree. I will ask emacs-devel.
