I suppose some sort of garbage collection takes place, but why is it so slooow? I used dumpcode to check out a code segment of about 40K on my SE. MPW went away bulldoozering twice; first time for five minutes, second time for nearly eight minutes. Cannot be a good implementation, can it? Sven Axelsson d83_sven_a@tekn01.charlmers.se
