about 500 MB, ATM. but it's in the middle of reloading it, which is  
actually a fairly expensive operation. I think re-evaluating the  
defclass form when I restart lisp and load my package is causing some  
rather expensive operations. It takes a few minutes to load. While I  
like the whole class re-definition thing, perhaps we need a way to  
distinguish an attempt to defclass a class that matches what's  
already on disk from a changed class (or perhaps there's something  
else going on here).
