[clean-list] Next Heap Size Factor ?

[Fabien Todescato]

Dear Cleaners,

Could somebody explain the exact meaning of the "NextHeap Size Factor"
parameter of the project options of the Clean 2.0 IDE ?

It is said in the IDE manual that "If a garbage collection does not free
enough memory, the heap is expanded (with the factor Next Heap Size Factor)
up to a maximum (the Maximum Heap Size)."

It is not clear to me what this exactly means, and how that parameter can
impact the run-time characteristics of the programs.

Thanks for your answers.
