The problem with your calculation is that even IF there is OS overhead, then that memory is USED within the managing scheme of the strings. Therefore, maybe the string itself isn't in that overhead, but the string requires it anyway. As a result, managed strings "require" that overhead, whatever it is. The bottom line is that I care about overall memory consumption, not individual string use.
