The threshold will still be customizable. Defaults are for the frequent situations, they aren't supposed to cover all of them. > (my emacs is running on a server > with 8Gb of RAM -- 66 users are currently using it --, but wasting 80Mo > between each GC doesn't seem very smart) The default value of the GC threshold should probably be limited anyway, using a fixed percent on large systems might hit some quota, and even if it doesn't, it's not a good idea to have it grow linearly. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
