Re: size increase for CVS emacs vs 21.3

[Richard Stallman]

    BTW, what was the rationale for the following change?

    2002-02-15  Andreas Schwab  <address@hidden>

            * puresize.h (BASE_PURESIZE): Increase to 9/5.

    The commantary is wrong -- the change was to PURESIZE_RATIO,
    not BASE_PURESIZE (the ratio used to be 8/5)?

This number is an estimate of how much bigger the "pure" data
will get if a Lisp_Object is 8 bytes.  If everything were
Lisp objects, this number would be 2, but since there are also
strings, it is less than 2.
