"Should know" is true in the ideal sense.  However it is far from easy
to determine in advance however.  Even now, the amount of memory used is
given as a range instead of a specific value because of these reasons.  
The only thing possible is to document it and the obvious place which is
the download page already has been updated.    I have also added this
info in the common bugs page which is referenced from the announcement
and in the wiki as well.   I filed a bug report against the release
notes as well long back and if I find time,  I will take a look at
updating the package.    If anyone wants to help,  let me know.   Thanks.
