Their results indicate that Hoard is faster but also uses more memory. I don't have a comparison of features between Hoard and the glibc implementation. Before switching somebody should run a number of real tests with XEmacs - on different platforms. Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger SuSE Labs aj(a)suse.de private aj(a)arthur.rhein-neckar.de
