I think not. It is not only using trendemous amount chip ram it is also very slow.

The best way to reduce chip mem usage is to use less colours in Workbench. And of course screen size.


I just found out that (probably again :P ) changing icon quality from "poor" to "bad" using Workbench prefs makes view by name use fastmem instead of chipmem.
