It turns out that with our collection of large Isabelle sessions that we run regularly, polyml heap image space is becoming a noticeable problem for us.
We found another way to solve this problem. Isabelle uses saveState to save heaps. If we use saveChild instead, we get a substantial reduction in heap sizes. However, this makes the saved states less portable because they contain the pathname of the parent. Then loading will fail if the heaps are moved to a different path. Here it would be nice if Poly/ML could use relative paths for the parent, and look them up relative to the child. There are other ways to fix this (e.g. chdir before loadState) but I'd rather get the above behaviour from Poly/ML directly. Any thoughts?
