You're presumably using the mainline version of Tremor. I'm not sure
how much memory it requires, 600 kB sounds quite plausible.

You should look at the lowmem-branch version - that's probably what
the Symbian player is using. Note, though, that the lowmem version
requires a little more cpu time, generally.
