Esteban,
You might be on something important there. I always found it strange what effect loading Glorp had on an image, blowing it up. I can't say I understand though, best make it into an issue.
I did some further digging. Basically, the GlorpSession>>#dropTables:'s MCMethodDefinitions are totally broken. I loaded Glorp in a clean 4.0 image (and did a merge) and I have two such definition instances, each with a #timeStamp of MEGABYTES, one ~ 60 Mb, one ~ 130 Mb, the contents is 'am From VisualWorks' and then lots of garbage:
No wonder the image grows by 200 Mb !
I will try to do what you did and commit a version of that method with a normal time stamp. Sven
Wow, I missed looking into the MCMethodDefinition itself. I don't understand how such a malformed timestamp can be there. But even 130MB is several times the image size of VW. I'll update my configurations. Thank you Sven! ps: As said in another thread, Torsten's version (descendant of mine) didn't seem to have this issue.
