I would hazard a guess that the GC does not try to completely straighten the list out, but creates several continuous chunks, which should be good enough for the purpose as the list will be mostly sequential. It may have to do with it trying to use spare RAM efficiently when it is fragmented. Either way, here is a GC example of adaptation in reverse — the app attempts to adapt to how the hardware works rather than the other way around, since it is much easier. _______________________________________________ Lisp Hug - the mailing list for LispWorks users [email protected] http://www.lispworks.com/support/lisp-hug.html
