The new software does use much more memory than previous versions. The memory savings Get Small produced were due to not loading up all the effects a regular project loaded, and since 4.0 does not load effects at startup, there is no way to do an equivalent to Get Small — it already is as small as it can get. When Lightwave 4.0 is ready it will ship with 4.1, which is still a few weeks aaway. Lightwave 3.5 does in fact render to the Flyer, if you turn on Save Anim and set anim type to Medium resolution preview. Hollywood effects is not making use of this, but it is present.
