Thanks for the comint trick, but I was pretty sure that slime-repl did not rely on comint as Stas confirmed. I was also thinking about `slime-repl-clear-buffer'. Advising it is a good idea. My problem is that I ran some program on huge data and it logged about 10^6 lines before finishing. I'll try to devise something before doing that again. I want to see that things run as expected. But I don't want to keep the whole history. Fabrice 2013/9/6 Joe Corneli <holtzermann17@gmail.com>

Hi,
Is there anyway to limit the size of the repl buffer ? Something like 10000 lines max for example. Emacs slows a lot with large buffers. No, there isn't anything. You can clear the output manually with C-c M-o.
Dude, with Emacs there's always a way.
Indeed, a modified version of `slime-repl-clear-buffer' could clear out the required amount of content. Really just a matter of figuring out what hook to add that to (per my earlier post) or what function to advise and Fabrice is sorted.
