Thanks to Ed and Felix.
Maybe this aspect of 'time' should be added to the manual :-)

I think that I have some large data structures (100-200 MB stored in files)
that need no GC.
They are deeply nested lists or vectors which the program 'read's once
on startup (they are rarely modified).
How can I tell 'read' (or a similar function) to put them on the heap?
