Well, something happened between the last time I ran the maxima test suite and this patch! In my memory, the testsuite ran around 1100secs on my laptop. Today, with this patch that was only 670.
The difference is too big to attribute solely to a different jvm version or other memory settings.
Thanks!
Erik.

However, they are seldom (to inspect stack trace).
This patch delays allocation of LispStackFrame objects until they are requested.
Raw information about stack frames is stored in stack.
Stack is an Object[] array ( more precisely a list of 8 MB Object[] arrays ).
Cool patch! Reviewing…
