Bullshit. On any OS we support MAME on (which for the moment still includes XP), only the parts of MAME that emulate the game you're currently playing get loaded off the disk. So the footprint for a given game doesn't change unless there's a drastic change to the driver itself (e.g. DRCing the CPU).

And even if your system were running out of memory, the entire emulation would slow down, at which point input lag is irrelevant. There is no instance in which progress on MAME can impact input lag (which IMO is largely psychosomatic anyway - nobody ever claimed there was any until some nutjob started whipping people up on the Shmups forum).
