I haven't checked how much RAM nhc98 needs for bootstrapping
recently, but the
Makefile suggests 16Mb of heap + 2Mb of stack is more than
sufficient -
it could probably manage with less.
If it was possible to save resources in these days - why isn't it
possible today anymore?
Too many Haskell extensions? Too much auxiliary code for interfacing
with OS? Increased safety?
Simply that more people care about speed than about space.
