Re: More on scsh bloat

[Bill Sommerfeld <sommerfeld@orchard.medford.ma.us>]

The current scsh heap size is now 2,500,000 words, or 10,000,000 bytes.

In 0.3, it was 1,500,000 words, or 6,000,000  bytes.

Since you need two heaps, you allocate 20MB (up from 12MB in 0.3) of
VM when starting scsh, but you won't actually touch all the pages
until the second GC..

I can't run scsh "out of the box" on my i386 NetBSD box (with 16MB of
physical memory) without upping the data-size limit above the default
16M using "limit datasize 32m".
