</div>LPF is running SmalltalkImage current cleanUpAll.<br>

We recently started a convention that all classes that can free up some<br>
memory prior to saving an image implement #freeSomeSpace, or #cleanUp.<br>

stuff when loading packages. There is a menu item for cleaning<br>
Monticello caches manually.<br>
