Barry | I imagine at some point I'll _really_ miss image saving if for example I | ever want to use CL-HTTP with it again or third-party freeware like | Garnet or Mark Kantrowitz's DEFSYSTEM, because 30-second to | several-minute load times get really tiring after you've done them a | zillion times. a couple tips are in order. first, newspace is effectively twice as large as the active memory, so make sure to keep it small. you can adjust the GC parameters to this end, and also call SYS:RESIZE-AREAS. second, the amount of newspace can grow fast when loading, so investigate the function EXCL::LOAD-APPLICATION, which tenures objects much faster than the normal behavior. #:Erik
