If there are applications that need more than 4, not to say 12 megabytes, how could they ever run on a real Palm?
12MB is still a 50% more than our 8MB limit, and as Javispedro pointed out already latest Treos used to have a larger heap...
On real devices there are apps to optimize and maximize the heap size to run heavier apps, but I guess that on a VM this could cause stability issues and given that we can run apps directly from command line with various tweaks I see no harm in having a bigger dynamic heap IMHO
