[plt-scheme] DrScheme memory usage

Is the 90 MB of ram when you run DrScheme itself or a program?

Don't forget that DrScheme is a very complex program. Also don't forget that
there are mayn, many built-in functions and variables for you to use that
your program needs access to. Try making a program with many variables; is
it using a lot more RAM?

 

 

Ifconfig.

Because this is just for very small programs. What happens for complex
programms ?

And, if now I have 400MB of ram installed, two years ago having a total of
100MB on a system was common.

Even so,sometimes, DrScheme manage to make my computer to not respond for
tens of seconds.
