[Sbcl-devel] memory overcommitment after startup

[Aleksandar B. <a_...@ya...>]

Hi,

I am running SBCL 0.9.4.26 on Linux 2.6.9-1.667 / AMD64, but built for x86.
When I start it using a previously dumped core, it reports around 900M of
virtual memory used (and around 70M resident/shared). I suppose this is what is
mentioned in the man page and I am fine with that. However, when I
slime-connect to it and play with the repl, the virtual memory use jumps in 4M
chunks very quickly. Is this a known behavior (of SBCL or SLIME), and is there
a way around?

Thanks,
Alex
