Is there anyway to reduce the amount of memory a VB.net program allocates?

Just a simple windows form, with one button and a label, and all the button
does is change the
text in the label (it's even hardcoded) and the EXE is using 15000+k of
memory according
to the task manager...

I mean I realize that VB is going to be more bloated than a C++ app. But is
there anyway
to reduce this amount? There should be no reason for it to think it needs to
'hold' 15 megs of memory
for a program that has absolutly no dynamic content.
