The 1 Meg is for the entire ROM; the symbolic manipulation probably takes only
a small portion of that. The rest is devoted to other parts, like the code for
the applications, especially geometry.

The 92 has 1 Mb of ROM containing these functions, developed together
with the people who created Derive. OK, it's programmed in
not-so-efficient C code, but you'd still have to pack it pretty
hard...
