[Oberon] Heap and GC

[Dan Parnete]

Hello,

    Today I have made a newbie trip on the 13.12.05 Bluebottle version. 
That mean I have opened and close all applications the menu offers. At 
the end the Performance monitor indicates 144Mb occupancy with a maximum 
of 153Mb (it starts at 22Mb from a total of 256Mb). The GC didn't work 
to much. Then I have insisted to open 3 times the DTP, with is the 
heaviest, and it easily arrived at 184Mb. From this point opening any 
other application is a pain, all activities are frozen for 5-6 seconds.
    All this newbie trip takes 1 minute. In 1 minute the system becomes 
unusable. Not very encouraging for a newbie.
    This is an old story. We  have the same problem on BBw, of course, 
and it becomes the most critical point of the moment. I'm wandering if 
anybody works on that in ETH? A collaboration could be useful.

Thanks,
Dan Parnete
