I want to assess some implementation details, some which can be expected 
to be common among the major VM implemetatons (for default I am 
referring to the Win32 implementation).

A good programmer is interested to know what he really invokes when 
allocating a new object. For example the minimum data size that an 
instance of a type consumes on the heap. Perhaps the question can be 
transformed into "what is the minimum size of data allocation blocks on 
the heap?". I have looked into the VM documents but found nothing about 
this because it is undefined. - So does somebody know about what the 
real practice is? Or where can I go to look for more information?

Thanks!
