It is 32M byte chip, we used to have 4 patitions each 8M byte, now I would like to use one 32 M byte, and are looking for pros/sons in both cases. Would n of GC at startup be better than 1? Would scan of 1 big partition be equal to sum of n small partition scans? Thank you, HK -- Hinko Kočevar, OSS developer ČETRTA POT, d.o.o.
