It is not easy to answer the first question. The programm is running inside of 
a nutshell and I cannot say how many live blocks the shell has when my 
application is started. The run I terminated with CTRL+C and mentioned in an 
earlier mail had 98,138,916 allocations and 97,052,020 frees. That indicates 
a number of 1,086,896 live blocks. 

My core application operates only on about 100-10,000 live blocks. The rest 
belongs to the nutshell.

I have now started the programm with -v. What is the interessting output?
