--- Begin Message ---Subject: reducing emacs size by more frequent garbage-collect calls in loadup.el Date: Sat, 29 Aug 2009 11:41:58 -0700 (PDT) As the Subject says, replacing each `load' line in loadup.el with `load' + `garbage-collect' will reduce the size of the stripped emacs binary: (.7 is before, .8 is after the change) $ ls -l emacs-23.1.50.8 emacs-23.1.50.7 -rwx------ 1 dann dann 6722788 Jul 24 14:20 emacs-23.1.50.8* -rwx------ 1 dann dann 6857956 Jul 24 14:20 emacs-23.1.50.7* $ size emacs-23.1.50.8 emacs-23.1.50.7 text data bss dec hex filename 1883659 4833256 0 6716915 667df3 emacs-23.1.50.8 1883659 4968424 0 6852083 688df3 emacs-23.1.50.7 so we get about 2% reduction by doing something very simple and safe... [This happens because loading multiple files generate more garbage that can be collected, but it is not returned to the OS, so it appears in the dumped image].
