a recent sbcl save-lisp-and-die 53 megs! Is it normally so huge?
7:37:41

With compression or no compression?
7:38:15

No compression, not sure * (sb-ext:save-lisp-and-die "cmimage.mem" :executable t)
7:38:24
adam4567
but no real trimmings either

The core file I have to make SLIME start faster is 46MB, but I can't remember if it's compressed.
7:38:46

46 is in a similar ball-park
7:39:05

Okay, it's uncompressed (you pass :compression <compression quality; 1 through 9> to compress)

adam4567: That order of magnitude is to be expected. It contains things like the compiler.
7:39:43
adam4567
OK. Understood. Will see how runs, anyway.

But yes, Common Lisp images usually contain the debugger, compiler, and everything that was present before you S-L-A-Died.

I get 40MB and 11MB uncompressed and compressed (using :compression 9) images, respectively.
7:42:58
adam4567
Hmm. OK. We'll see how it goes. (It sure took several seconds to save).
7:44:39
adam4567
Like, to use it, sbcl must load first anyway, then load the image.
7:45:08
adam4567
whereas it'd be faster to load sbcl and evaluate a form
7:45:27
no-defun-allowed
Er, the image is basically a copy of everything in memory, SBCL doesn't need to load anything else.
7:45:35
adam4567
load sbcl, load a package, evaluate a form, I mean
7:46:33

adam4567: What do you think "load sbcl" involves?
7:47:36
no-defun-allowed
I sure hope not; the SLIME manual told me dumping an image would make it load faster.
7:49:05
adam4567
looking through sbcl manual now, trying to find how to Load the image .. do forgive me. sbcl -M image.mem I thought
7:49:43
no-defun-allowed
sbcl --core core-file
7:49:53
no-defun-allowed
I think -M is for CLISP.
7:52:27
adam4567
right, last time I used it was clisp. Thanks

Will ELS 2020 be on twitch?
10:09:48
Shinmera
Possibly. There's no decision yet.
10:11:28
Gnuxie[m]
Oh wow, I didn't think it was being considered, that's exciting

If it is on Twitch it would be pre recorded talks and a reduced programme.
