After allowing for the rather larger run-time system, if an application could have been written in C, the Prolog version shouldn't need a lot more memory than the C version. About the worst that can happen to you is manipulating sequences of characters: where list-of-integer/vector-of-byte is 8/1, but that's rarely the bottleneck. I generally run Quintus Prolog on a Sun-3 with "limit datasize 2M". Any time that's not enough it usually means it's time to take the hacks out of my code.
