It seems a poll is going to be the only way to discover if there is a consensus. I would particularly ask members of the Discussion Group, who cannot vote directly, to log into the forum so that they may do so.

I'm going to declare 32 Mbytes the winner:

Code: Select all

2 Mbytes: 2 votes
4 Mbytes: 0 votes
8 Mbytes: 1 vote
16 Mbytes: 0 votes
32 Mbytes: 3 votes
64 Mbytes: 1 vote
Not exactly an overwhelming majority, but at least not a tie! So unless somebody has a major objection, or can present a technical reason why it isn't wise, I will plan to increase the initial value of HIMEM - PAGE to 32 Mbytes in the next release.
