NetworkTables needs to change.

Have you guys ever had issues with ram on the RIO? I ran some test code in multiple languages for hours, and unless I explicitly put in a memory leak, I could never use more then like 20MB of ram. With 256MB total, there is more then enough.

The only time I've ran into RAM issues was when trying to compile OpenCV on the RoboRIO itself.

How's that for service?
