If zoo runs out of memory, it simply complains and ]exits, and it will let you interrupt it at any time with a ^C. Zoo can also be made resident in shared mode, by REZ. You can run multiple copies at once, with memory overhead of 30K (executable) + 30K workspace per copy instead of a flat 60K per copy. I can see some major advantages there! Arc can't; although you can make it resident, if you try to run a second one it will be loaded from disk.
