I've tried this and it does work pretty well.
I didn't look at actual memory usage but it never seemed to be a problem
for me.

Currently, I'm using NSFileManager to iterate through a items and
folders to build a menu from a given path, but this has a large
memory overhead, I'd assume due to the file icons. I have seen some
apps that provide hierarchical menus, but use very little memory.
Any suggestions as to how to do this? Is there a way to get the
Finder to supply this menu?
While I haven't tried this myself it seems that you should be able to
dynamically create only the parts of the menu that the user actually
navigates to. You might be able to do that by leveraging the the
"-menuNeedsUpdate:" NSMenu delegate method (and please see the
discussion in the docs for that method for additional considerations).
