Something like newbie tower could be interesting place when you have
killed all monsters, corridors which are full of bodies ;). I agree
that bodies could make better atmosphere, but it won't have any effect
to memory requiments (probably only adding the memory usage). The corpses 
could be containers containing all stuff what monster was carrying when 
it died. However this makes looting the bodies slower :(. Hopefully 
someone can make good pixmaps for different monsters bodies.
