Yes, and the runtime size is in the 3-6 GB range, too, data crunching. So, one last stupid question, to further demonstrate my ignorance: if it so magically happened that all these different pieces all ran BDW-GC, would it magically happen that one pass of the GC would scavenge RAM for all of the different interpreters? --linas
