32KiB for both code and data is a challenge.  Getting rid of the 
workspace is a major task.  You have to re-write large parts of the 
object management.  There is also a major obstacle: the unlimited 
objects feature, which makes this task somewhat infeasible at the moment.

PS:

The unlimited objects feature and the identifier to object translation 
in general are also a huge problem for SMP.
