Keep CurrentMedia in a separate object outside of MsnUser that needs to be allocated if a user has media. This makes MsnUser smaller by the size of 3 pointers (apparently) for each buddy in your buddy list. In practice it looks like less than 1% of MSN users have media set, so this should save a little bit of memory.
