I don't know if you mean his work in general (which is excellent), or if you're specifically referring to the last entry about non-shared dirty lib data. That entry is easy to misread: he didn't cut 16MB out of memory requirements, nor did he find a way to. A lot of that 16MB is relocation data and can't be reclaimed by simply const'ing variables, and even variables that can be const'ed won't necessarily translate to direct memory use reductions. In other words, this post is a best practices reminder, but don't expect memory requirements to drop by 16MB anytime soon. -- Ivan Krstic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | GPG: 0x147C722D -- olpc-software mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/olpc-software
