# 836 In-Memory Tables Save to a Stream Occupy Too Much Space

I can understand that filing a table as a memory stream will carry some overheads but if I create a disk table with the same structure on-disk occupies 16Kb in-memory filed as a blob occupies c90Kb. Moving from filing the data as a memory stram and going back to putting the data into a memo field delinied with ¬ goes from c51Mb to c350Kb.


Comments Comments and Workarounds
Internal block size used by in-memory tables was too large (64k). It's now been trimmed down to 4k.
