Esteban, The Reddit example's CI Job (https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/Reddit/) also loads Seaside and Glorp (two big packages) in Pharo 3 and it too results in a 110 Mb image and 142 Mb changes file. After condensing, that goes to 276 Mb ! I would say something is wrong here ;-) Note that condensing changes on newly loaded code should not make much difference (in essence, all multiple versions of methods are reduced to 1). I think we should create some issues out of this. Sven

Well... after finishing the condensing, the changes file passed form 140 mb... to 280 mb :)

2014-10-28 3:08 GMT-03:00 Esteban A. Maringolo <emaringolo@gmail.com>: I know we're on our way to get rid of changes, but meanwhile after installing my Metacello config I end up with an image of 40megs and a changes file of 140 megs!!!
It doesn't load anything too esoteric: Glorp, Magritte, Seaside, Postgres, NeoCSV and my own packages.
I can run PharoChangesCondenser condense, but it takes forever! (I started it 20 minutes ago and it's still running).
Is there a way I can improve this situation?
