If that turns out to be the problem, will someone please contact me directly? (I ask that because I mostly just skim this list and so miss things.) Several years back I devoted a pretty decent number of hours to working out good ways to compress the run-time representation of such tables without sacrificing much performance on accesses. If it would be helpful, I can take a little bit of time to refresh my memory of how I did it and report that to someone working on the problem in Emacs, thus hopefully saving time (and squeaking a little bit more "payout" from my initial investment). -t
