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.
Best regards,

Does that help?

That won't help with slime repl.

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.
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.

In response to a somewhat similar query, Helmut Eller once advised me: "Setting printer variables like *print-length* to fairly small values is usually a good idea."
Might do in a pinch?

When this happens, I usually redirect the whole output to a file and then view it in emacs with `auto-revert-mode'.
Btw, Emacs can manage large buffer; in my experience, the culprit is often the fontification process (especially if you use slime-presentations), because Emacs redoes the fontification each time the buffer is updated, you can test this by disabling fontification (M-x font-lock-mode RET) and see if you see some improvement.
For example, when I use M-x compile, I disable the fontification until the compilation is done to avoid freezing my emacs.
