Just FYI... My dual 1 GHz PIII system with 2 GB of RAM (Red Hat 8 w/ updates, 2.4.20-18 kernel) has been up just over a week, and here's some profiling information generated by oprofile: $ oprofpp -r /usr/local/bin/xemacs-21.4.12 -l | head -20 Cpu type: PIII Cpu speed was (MHz estimation) : 1004.55 Counter 0 counted CPU_CLK_UNHALTED events (clocks processor is not halted) with a unit mask of 0x00 (Not set) count 600000 vma samples %-age symbol name 08084920 429620 13.1086 mark_object 08084e80 320010 9.76417 mark_cons 0808d120 233728 7.13153 execute_optimized_program 08085750 173218 5.28524 sweep_conses 08086040 168894 5.15331 compact_string_chars 08084f50 154098 4.70185 mark_vector 080854f0 86018 2.62459 sweep_lcrecords_1 080851c0 67869 2.07082 mark_string 080b3e40 65681 2.00406 Ffuncall 08086190 64597 1.97099 sweep_strings 08177ee0 64037 1.9539 re_match_2_internal 0808ce50 49971 1.52472 funcall_compiled_function 080ad6c0 49794 1.51932 mark_hash_table 080b3200 49488 1.50998 Feval 080c0720 45225 1.37991 pdump_objects_unmark 0808edf0 43582 1.32978 optimize_byte_code XEmacs accounted for 1.1915% of all non-idle CPU time (11th on the list). --- Vladimir ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Vladimir G.
