Thanks! I ended up with the following for the ircbot: (require racket/tcp) (require racket/string) (require racket/match) (require racket/format) DrRacket was super helpful in identifying which packages I needed to require. Using "raco exe ircbot.rkt" dropped the numbers down to: vsz=165428 rss=49588 Using "raco make ircbot.rkt" followed by racket ircbot.rkt dropped the numbers to: vsz=150256 rss=35484 - still a little portly, but much better :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
