278 default configuration for your system. 278 to return unused memory to the operating system, thereby reducing its
279 memory footprint. However, it may make XEmacs runs more slowly,
280 especially if your system's `mmap' implemntation is missing or
281 inefficient. Generally, it's best to go with the default
282 configuration for your system. You can tweak this based on how you
283 use XEmacs, and the memory and cpu resources available on your system.
