autoexec.bat ~= /etc/rc (or /etc/rc.local)

That's probably a performance sucker.  The kernel usually takes ~ 1 MB
or more, including the run-time allocated buffers and such.  There are
a few processes (init, cron, sh), so your application wouldn't get
away without continuously paging.  If you can tolerate this, it's no
problem however.
