This would mean it takes up more RAM, and to get a decent reduction in size (enough for realistic streams) it would need to be scaled up from 128 blocks per pixel to 16 blocks per pixel, i.e. a 64x increase in RAM usage, which would be unplayable for almost everyone.

If there's a way to do this it isn't by changing the map and it isn't by using a road-like system either.
