Hello Simon,

and completely separate topic - +RTS -s report description also doesn't exist
Scroll down in that section I linked to before:

you are right again. so, that remains: you shouldn't suppose that user have read 90's GC paper. give a short excerpt of it: how generational GC works and how memory usage converts to memory footprint. then descriptions of RTS options will serve as "modifications" to this "baseline"
Bulat, Perhaps you could write a description here to the list or the wiki and after a few iterations it could be included in the GHC manual? Thanks, Jason
