RE: "ld" memory usage

| This is not strictly a GHC question. I observed that "ld" when linking | GHC-compiled programs eats 0.5 GB of resident memory. ~3 times more than | GHC or Haddock. So if there is not enough free memory "ld" uses virtual | memory and works very slowly (practically does not use CPU). I'd like to | know, is anyone interested in researching and improving memory usage? Is | it "ld" or GHC problem? I found a similar discussion here | http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.cafe/66189 | but it was too broad and went nowhere. Roman, I think it would be great if you could find a group of people to look into this. Even if it's an ld bad-perf case, maybe GHC could do something to dodge ld's bad case. Simon
