- This is Executor 1.99q9, compiled Mon Mar 11 20:20:46 MST 1996.
- CPU type is 80486 or better.
- Choosing 2.00 MB for applzone, 0.50 MB for syszone, 0.25 MB for stack
-
- Another 2.5 MB is taken up by memory that's given to the virtual Mac.
-
- That leaves about 2.5 MB left for scratch space for dynamic
- recompilation as well as the video buffer (300k needed for 640x480).
-
- Are you using any command line switches to adjust the amount of memory
- Executor uses ("-memory", "-applzone", "-syszone", or "-stack")? I
- just checked and "top" gives roughly the same size as ps does, so
- something on your system is making Executor use a lot more memory than
- it does by default.
