Hello Marcus, sorry for not sending these out earlier, incrementally.
Just swamped as many people here are.
I attached the lisp and c stack information files atend.
Last weekend I found following customizations in my
(custom-set-variables ...) makes a big difference about XEmacs VM
growth:
'(gc-cons-incremental-threshold 2000000)
'(gc-cons-percentage 0 t)
'(gc-cons-threshold 20000000)
'(gc-incremental-traversal-threshold 1000000)
Firstly I have disabled GC based on gc-cons-percentage.
Secondly I found setting gc-incremental-traversal-threshold 100 times
higher than default avoids VM jumps during memory-intensive
operations.
Does this basically bring gc-incremental closer to being a gc-full?
There are still situations where XEmacs VM growths in a big jump of a
couple hundred MB, but the situations are a lot rarer now.
Let me know of useful experiments (that would not take a whole lot of
time).
Later,
Adrian
