<br>
downloaded it on the Pi A+ installed my trusty 24/7 cat surveillance app and it worked.<br>
CPU usage went down from 50 to 40%. It exercises BitBlt, Collections, file I/O incl. GPIO, OSProcess and CommandShell<br>
Memory went up from 52M to 75M which is critical as I use the PiNoir Camera.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>So there's two things going on here. One is that the object format is indeed less compact tan the previous one and Spur image files are about 15% larger, so a 57Mb image file should result in something around 65Mb. Another is that right now I've chosen to have the memory manager allocate a chunk of free space at startup that defaults to the growHeadroom, which defaults to 16Mb. You can see what the free old space is via vm parameter 54, e.g.</div><div><br></div><div> Smalltalk vmParameterAt: 54 22689208<br></div><div><br></div><div>You can change this by the command line switch -maxoldspace. Really I think there needs to be a way of a) specifying a free headroom on the command line, and b) setting a grow size in the image header, rather than from Smalltalk code.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Basically Spur is very green and we need to evolve its facilities for management of memory management. So please feel free to make suggestions and requests for functionality here, but especially on vm-dev. We could do with careful discussions here as I don't want to hack, but I'm not pretending to have the right answers.</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">

I'll watch what comes out of Tim's (Rowledge) recent post.<br>
<br>
And I'll watch if it runs as stable as 4.5.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

I managed to successfully incorporate the ARM platform into the 5.0<br>
