If there is a tool which can generate a dump of how everything is ordered in memory, I think I could write a visualization tool for it. Also, I suspect that we may need some mechanism for calculating degee of fragmentation. I recall that hard drive defragmenters for windows used to tell you that you were 40% fragmented or whatever; I don't know what that measure means, but apparently someone has thought of a heuristic for doing that calculation. We could use something like that. Bryce
