vdradmin gets the EPG data from vdr, parse this info and store this in a
internal tree. This needs much time (approx 4 seconds on a p200, 
depending
on how much EPG data vdr provides. More channels, more EPG data). 
vdradmin
caches this data, because no one is willing to wait 5 or more seconds 
on a
request (especially me). This is the reason why vdradmin needs so much
memmory.

vdradmin's goal is to be so easy it can be. I think installing Apache,
setting up mod_perl or mod_php, installing the necessary Librarys
is overkill and too much complex.

But, i agree with you, 19MB is a bit heavy. I will look into this.
