Yeah, and creating an instance will cause the static constructor to execute (~by definition), especially considering that the instance constructor doesn't do anything:

Fine; if I change Foo() to be:

	static void Foo ()
	{
		var ignore = System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlDecode ("http://example.com?a=b+c&d=%20e");
		Console.WriteLine ("ignore={0}", ignore);
	}

My final memory use is ~unchanged: diff=26784.

My point remains: execution of the HttpUtility static constructor does _not_ cause "a whole meg of memory to vanish." At best it's ~26kb, and considering that most of that is probably a giant lookup table for HTML entities, that doesn't seem all that bad to me:
