Well, a 5 Mbyte [1] overhead isn't really that much, IMHO. You'd need to run a lot of (different; if they're the same, the text will be shared) applications to get any measurable benefit. Eventually, it would be nice to have dynamic linkage, but I can see why it isn't a priority. -kzm [1] On my Linux system, the overhead seems to be less than 2 Mbyte. 5 Mb is the figure used by the OP. -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
