Thanks for coming to my aid about unix compilers, and the above is certainly
true.  The then again, I really don't care.  I get paid for doing a job on
my (God, I wish) 10 MIPS workstation.  I'm not paid to conserve my memory
or my MIPS or whatever.  If it's there and it helps me get my job done any
faster/better, I'm going to use it.  Admittedly, it would be nice if some
of those applications programs that I run were a little smaller so that I
could fit more of them in memory at once without having to have a huge swap
disk, etc.  But hey, if I need it, just as long a I can run it, I'm going
to use it.
