Do you know a workaround for this, to waste, eg 1% memory while waiting,
instead a 8-10%?

I've never measured the memory use of a simple stay-open applet with an idle handler but I'd be surprised if it's much.

An alternative would be folder actions -- create an empty file in the watched folder -- but I have no idea whether folder actions use memory.
