Vladimir Panteleev: >Um, it should be much more than that. What are you running?< I am running DMD v1.042 with Phobos on WinXP, the compilation needs only tents of a second, and at runtime it allocated 48.3 MB. DMD v2.030 with Phobos needs 49.028 MB and the compilation is a bit slower, 0.35 seconds. Bye, bearophile
