You are right. chicken (and others like bigloo) does not compile such a beast and crashes with an error message. > You could evict it theoretically, but for something that big, you may have to > create your own data structure in C and malloc it. With object-evict, the program runs much slower without any progress, so Felix' warning about object-evict seems to apply in my use case. > I'm curious what this expression is for. It's a letter tree for a fullform lexicon of a natural language (more than 1 million entries). Access times are short, hence I abstained from switching to a key-value store on disk.
