I saw a post about BCM and took a look at some of the information and I think
it can be quite interesting, but I have a few questions:

- When I downloaded this for TR2 the download is 250Mb. I was surprised.
Is this all BCM? much extra memory does it take running.

- this seems to create another PST, which I'd expect. But it appears that
it needs to have a duplicate copy of a contact in its folder. I hate having
to keep one copy of a contact in exchange and another in BCM. AM I
understanding this correctly.

- Curious about people's feedback on performance and usability

Yes.
[how] much extra memory does it take running.

Enough to run a SQL "lite" database.

No, it uses a database.

It's your choice which to use to manage your contacts, either or both.
