Speaking about statistics: Either I have missed it, or so far nobody |
| 13 |
has presented any solid numbers showing what the benefit of |
| 14 |
--as-needed in terms of memory usage or program startup time is. |
| 15 |
|

Could someone please show this comparison for some common programs? |
| 17 |

I've just done this for Emacs (22.2-r2), virtual set size directly |
| 19 |
after startup is 25280 and 25276 kB, for Emacs built without and with |
| 20 |
--as-needed, respectively (resident set size is 14412 and 14396 kB). |
| 21 |
I don't see any difference in startup time. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
But maybe Emacs is an uncommon application, or I am looking for the |
| 24 |
wrong things? Could one of the experts please shed some light on this? |
