Re: Testers for new GC code sought on Gtk and Windows

Therefore, I would tremendously appreciate if some kind souls

Windows or Gtk would update their CVS sandboxes, configure with
--use-kkcc, fire up the resulting XEmacs and suffer through a few GCs,
say, by starting Dired on a large directory or something.
Please report (either to xemacs-beta or to me) ESPECIALLY if things go
smoothly.
As options in win32 are set in nt/config.inc, I could only guess about
how to set this option. I included a line
USE_KKCC=1
this seems to have been the right way, so I propose to add the following
lines to nt/config.inc.samp
#uncomment this if you want to use the new Garbage Collector
#USE_KKCC=1
Well, I couldn't really find a difference in behavior until I set
gc-cons-threshold to 1000 (it was set to 3000000 before), then I had the
impression, that the XEmacs compiled without the KKCC-option is slightly
(perhaps 10-20%) faster than the one compiled with USE_KKCC=1.
I'll just do a posting to build-report including my config.
