[armedbear-devel] Lazy allocation of LispStackFrames

[Erik Huelsmann]

Well, something happened between the last time I ran the maxima test suite
and this patch! In my memory, the testsuite ran around 1100secs on my
laptop. Today, with this patch that was only 670.

The difference is too big to attribute solely to a different jvm version or
other memory settings.

Thanks!

Erik.
