You must think that I know something when I start typing out important
sounding sentences.  "HA" I say!

Anyway, I'm not sure honestly.  I would hope it would do as much as
possible, but I really don't know.  

All I know is that when I was doing experiments a while back (sgnus
.2? or .1? something I would think) and I started sgnus, I'd get a
massive memory increase.  Then I would quit sgnus and restart it
again.  I would get yet another memory increase.  This was sort of
annoying, since you get XEmacs to grow to a fairly large size simply
by reading news say 3 or 4 times during the day.  These were fairly
consecutive bursts; I should try this again and do things in between
the sgnus runs to see if anything gets cleaned up.  Maybe tommorrow (ha).

Whats that from anyway?  Sounds like it should be a great MST3K show
though.
