- Look in mstoop.c for lines which look like:
-
- #ifndef atarist
- /* Min for Kernel = 512K, Kernel+STIX min is 1M */
- /* you can increase this value if you need more space, and it won't hurt
- * performance *if* your machine has enough physical memory (otherwise, you
- * thrash the pager) */
- #define INIT_MEM_SPACE_SIZE /*(512 * K) */ (2 * K * K)
- #else
- #define INIT_MEM_SPACE_SIZE (1152 * K)
- #endif
-
- For non-atari versions, this sets the size of the two spaces used for
- garbage collection to 2Mb each. The commented out version uses 512k eack.
- This is the minimum initial configuration. Smalltalk will grow if it needs
- more space.
-
- Note that it's not memory which restricts the size, but swap space size...
- Though things run a lot slower if you don't have the RAM to support the size
- of the semi-spaces.
