Which is cool; but it’s still going to lower overall performance by some amount. (Back in the day, the rule of thumb was that any garbage collector would add at least ~10% overhead to the CPU time taken by a typical program.) > I'm still testing the runtime overhead on GNUStep, but I believe that the > overhead will be really small.

That would be cool! —Jens _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
