Hello,

For a certain Clean program I noticed a huge difference in heap use between
Windows NT and Windows 95/98: on NT the program uses around 1.9M of heap and
on WIndows 95/98 around 3.4M of heap. I have not yet tested if the
significant difference shows up for other Clean applications, but maybe one
of the Clean implementors can tell if in general heap use is significant
lower on Windows NT in comparison with Windows 95/98 and why?
