Could we make the default heap size a little bit bigger? On current PC systems with 0.5GB - 1GB RAM 250kB seems to be a bit tiny, and I can't even load some OpenGL examples without using -hXYZ on the commandline. Maybe 400kB or even 0.5MB? I understand that Hugs is targeted at low-end systems, but even my mobile phone could handle a few MBs...
Detail: I think the default heap size is 2Mb not 250kB. (The heap size is measured in number of 'cells' which are 8 bytes each on 32-bit machines.) That said, doubling its size every 18 months seems entirely reasonable and I don't think we've changed it for about 2 years. -- Alastair
