I would increase the default minor heap size to something closer to today's
common L2 cache sizes. But I see that Damien already did this for us:

h?rev=10787&r1=10496&r2=10787> &r1=10496&r2=10787

 

Cheers,

Jon.

What happens if you just increase the default size?

  

 

Well we don't want to be a memory hog like Java do we? It's something that
