Re: Memory usage reduction?




Is this nowadays worth the effort to reduce this kind of memory usage,
other than waisting some bytes isn't best practice, or is it IRL safe
to assume that "nobody" still works with OS/2 Warp 3 with the minimum
ammount of 4 MB of RAM installed?

It is *always* worth reducing memory usage

That sounds like "best practice" to me. But AFAICS there's a kind of
acceptable, undefined limit, related to the effort involved, because
IRL it's not mentioned as a problem anymore to claim my 2+ MB of RAM
for a short while. I can do better, but that seems to be "overdone",
so the choice would be reducing 11 MB to 2 MB, as long as the RAM is
not used for a long period of time (e.g. the FTP-server mentioned).
