Hi,
I just looked at texmf.cnf and saw these values (in relative
order of appearance)
main_memory = 1500000
main_memory.context = 1500000
main_memory.mpost = 1500000
main_memory.mpost = 1000000
main_memory.metafun = 2500000
pool_size = 1250000
pool_size.mpost = 500000
pool_size.metafun = 1000000
I propose to include only this:
main_memory = 1500000
pool_size = 1250000
Context's main_memory requirements compared to other packages are
no longer as excessive as they once were, it seems ;-)
Metafun can easily run with 1 mln words less, the extra size is
only needed for really, really large images.
Additionally, if there are various metapost main_memory sizes, you
have to be really,really careful about using -progname or the new
metapost 0.99 will refuse to load the .mem files.
Greetings, Taco
