I guess 64 MB is probably reasonable. On my laptop here, Firefox has an RSS of 349 MB (probably because it leaks like a sieve), and the Emacs that I'm writing this in has 44 MB. One reason I hesitate to set this arbitrarily high is because it is only (currently) a limit on the cases in memory of any given casereader, but there can be lots of them at any time. So that can really be 64 MB times N. That's one reason it's set to 4 MB now. -- Ben Pfaff http://benpfaff.org _______________________________________________ pspp-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pspp-dev
