Hey,

I am currently working with Gemstone/S 3.6.3 and today I had lots of problems, loading large software packages via Gopher - the topaz process (using Gopher) got killed (as it seems) by the operating system when loading the software, no message and the putty session got killed also.

I am heavily model based working, so the complete domain model, the API model and APIs itselfs, the OpenAPI specification, the documentation are generated in Smalltalk source code. My - by far - largest application produces 18 MByte of source code (topaz-pure code).

<div style="" class="default-style">

<div style="" class="default-style">
The generator generates topaz source code (18 MB) which is normally loaded once and then (from within Jade) I produce a Monticello package (3.6 MB) and for further work I use these Monticello packages.

Today I measured the loading time: 6 minutes (topaz) against 24 minutes (monticello) on the same machine - I assume, that a git based solution will not be much better, perhaps even worse ?
