Transparent proxy + RealProxy memory footprint ?

For non-remoting purposes, I am using in a scientific application numerous RealProxy. I know that internally the RealProxy is associated to a TransparentProxy.

Can someone tell me how much bytes costs a RealProxy instance (This value must differ in 32 and 64bits systems). Such information would be very usefull to correctly design my application.

Thanks in advance,
Joannes

Ok, I found a (dirty) way mesuring the memory footprint with

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading;
using System.Runtime.Remoting.Proxies;
using System.Runtime.Remoting.Messaging;

namespace ConsoleTest
{
    public class MyProxy : RealProxy
    {
        public MyProxy() : base(typeof(MarshalByRefObject))
        {

        }

        public override IMessage Invoke(IMessage msg)
        {
            return null;
        }
    }

    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {

            int count = 1000000;

            object[] objArray = new object[count];
            MyProxy[] proxyArray = new MyProxy[count];

            for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
            {
                proxyArray

//emoticons/emotion-55.gif" alt="Idea" /> = new MyProxy();
objArray Idea

= proxyArray Idea

.GetTransparentProxy();
            }

            Console.WriteLine( ((double) GC.GetTotalMemory(true) - count * 8) / (double) count);
        }
    }
}

Apparently, the memory footprint on a 32bit machine is 64 bytes (not too bad, I would have expected more).
