1 To activate a "daemon" for optimal storage allocation in maclisp,
2 (a classic as described in AI Working Paper number 14.), do
5 Purpose: To run out of all spaces at the same time, i.e. to not be
6 limited by the size of any one space, but to not garbage collect too
7 much due to over-cautious allocation.
8 Idea: From storage usage patterns it predicts what future usage will be.
9 Bugs: Can't predict loading of compiled code, may make bad predictions under
10 some conditions. Takes up a little space itself.
11 Recommendations: Try it when you run out of FLONUM space while making
12 PLOTS, or BIGNUM space when hacking large expressions.
13 Use multics or Lispm if available.
