I know that. But all older versions didn't have such an enormous 'overhead'.
We've been using CACHE_MEM 48 MB up to 2.2DLEVEL3 without problems, reduced
it now to 36 MB and still have trouble. I think a parameter which is set to
e.g. 8 MB and actually use is e.g. 10 times more isn't a parameter ...
