2.3 Customizing FreeLisp
LISPKSIZE
in freelisp.ini
controls the amount of memory available to FreeLisp. By default, LISPKSIZE
is not set to any particular value, but is determined automatically whenever you start FreeLisp up, and takes into account the size of the application and the amount of memory available on your machine.
Usually, this setting is fine, but if you do find FreeLisp slow, you may like to try setting LISPKSIZE
manually. To do this, edit the line
LISPKSIZE=in
freelisp.ini
. You can give it any value you like between 5000 and 16000 Kilobytes. Try different values until you achieve the performance that pleases you most.
If garbage collection (indicated by the 'GC' cursor) takes more than a few seconds each time it is performed, the value of LISPKSIZE
is probably too high.
