Basically it's just FYI. Jeff added it (the display of it) sometime durring the beta, but the reason escapes me.

He probably did it as a more usable way to check whether Sage is "leaking memory". Sorry about the quotes but, strictly speaking, one doesn't leak memory, in the conventional sense, in Java, but the result is similar: a process that grows over time without relinquishing unusued memory.

OK, so far so good........but what does it do???Mean????

I'd like to be able to check it and know that 30/39 is GOOD or BAD!!

Basically if it's not growing out of control, you're probably fine.

Heap Size can grow and contract ass you use IR, if you tell it you don't like something you will see a spike as it goes thought the guide data routing out the programs. For use that have been running sage for a long time year or more the size can be large at times but always goes back down.

So there is no TOO BIG or TOO LITTLE, it;s based on my USE of SAGE?

So why are there two numbers? whats the first one refer to? and teh second.

I really appreciate the help, but I still have no clue what this is for! Or how ro read it.

Is it like reading blood pressure?
