Resource Hog? I think there's something wrong with your phone or your install or you didn't actually measure the resource usage.
On my old Hermes with WM6.1, 3.5 is showing a usage between 2.85MB to 3.63MB. CPU usage is 0%, and is 6th in the list arranged by CPU usage (It's using lesser CPU than cprog.exe, device.exe, gwes.exe and filesys.exe). Overall CPU usage of the device is ranging from 1% to 9% with an average of 4%. When 3.5 is unloaded, the average CPU usage is 3%, meaning which 3.5 is using about 1% of the CPU. Not bad at all.
Now if you want the looks+features but still want to use heavy programs like Opera Mobile, just exit the shell and you'll get all your memory back.
And the 8MB storage requirements isn't much, IMHO, and I'm saying this by experience of using old 200MHz and 400Mhz devices on Non-naked (bigstorage) ROMs. If you find yourself running out of device storage, just don't install application programs in there (install only system-level/utility/important programs). Or you could use a BigStorage ROM. Finally, you can delete all unnecessary files from the installation folder, like other languages and unused pictures. You can even modify the pictures to a lower quality one if you like.
My point is, I don't think size is an issue here, and people who are calling this bloated should do a reality check.
Two thumbs up! thx dude! Works perfect on my Touch Pro.
