If memory serves (yes, pun intended) there's a TMEM resource you can 
modify with ResEdit to alter that behavior -- from the MetaCard "Read Me":

----------------------
A "TMEM" resource controls use of the MacOS memory management system.
It contains two bytes.  The first byte controls whether temporary
memory is used for normal heap management (1 for yes, 0 for no).  The
second byte controls whether temporary memory is used for pixmap
storage (window backing pixmaps and images, 1 for yes, 0 for no).  By
default both are enabled, and can be changed only with a resource
editor (e.g., Resedit).  If you set one or both bytes to 0, you'll
also have to increase the MetaCard application partition size in the
Finder (figure about 6MB + the size of all stacks you'll be editing).
----------------------

That was written before the engine added the ability to get and set Mac 
resources.  If one had time and interest they could write a GUI for 
modifying those TMEM values in a standalone.
