It's a huge difference, so now I'm wondering if I correctly built the
beast...
Any Idea ?
Think of Unicode (8 bit -> 32 bit)! And if your hardware is 64 bit,
then GNU Emacs could have been configured and compiled for this,
using pointers that large. Did you compile in debug information? (And
GTK also consumes lots of disk space, look at my GNU Emacs 21.3.50
(also GCC 3.3)!)
On my Mac the Emacsen have:
7,490,192 26 Dez 01:23 emacs-22.3
10,166,896 14 Jan 15:27 emacs-23.0.60
13,836,700 20 Jul 2008 emacs-21.3.50
