Indeed, you can see that Zip can compress /View (I don't have Core at hand) by 35%. rndn> A core dump produces at least 2,5 MB ! That includes MUCH more than the code. REBOL creates a lot of things in memory upon startup, just think that every value uses at least 16 bytes (on 32 bit systems). If you sum up all the memory used by everything in SYSTEM just after startup you'll probably end up to something close to the 2MB figure. rndn> so dont be fooled that its only 225 Kb.. The native code is actually that small, believe it or not. :-) Regards, Gabriele. -- Gabriele Santilli <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- REBOL Programmer Amigan -- AGI L'Aquila -- REB: http://web.tiscali.it/rebol/index.r -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" in the subject, without the quotes.
