You might want to try

	ChangeSet allInstancesDo: [:cs | cs zapHistory].

I think you'll find that this reclaims almost as much space, while leaving the changeSets in place.

The real penalty we pay right now is that we save old copies of methods (and all the literals they point to) for the ability of (isolated) changeSets to be reverted.  This will all get reexamined and improved, methinks, in the forthcoming work on modules.

Hope this helps.
