I'm using epoch V4.2 on a SparcStation 1+ with 28Mb of memory, and am
finding that epoch is "Garbage Collecting" much too frequently. This is
especially noticeable when using mh-e and gnus, but is a general
problem.

I've glanced at lucid and it seems to be *much* faster, although it's
appears to lack some of the epoch features, viz:

o  It doesn't have a shared minibuffer in a separate screen.

o  I couldn't figure how to switch between screens (from the keyboard)
   and have lucid raise the new screen to the top of the window stack.
   In epoch I use C-z o and C-z p.

I saw in the on-line lucid NEWS it mentioned a future merge with epoch.
Is this still planned? When could this be expected?
