[Chicken-users] nursery

[Joerg F. Wittenberger]

Hi,

I'm afraid I have an imperfect idea, what the "nursery" actually is.
I'd appreciate if there was a little reference in the documentation.

Otherwise the nursery size seems to have a performace impact, at least
there's a benchmark when the optimal nursery size is determined.

As I can see from the Makefile, I can provide an explicit nursery
size.  This solves the problem at hand: on the same machine I have
different nursery sizes each compile - hardly a basis for benchmarking
different implementation strategies.

But how do I justify the choice of any nursery size, if I want to
provide a binary package?

Thanks

/Jörg
