Hi Chris, if you use the About Squeak... dialog and look at VM parameters you can see how much free space. What I suspect you're seeing is that there's lots if free space in the image. So indeed there's 160m of objects, a huge amount if wasted space and a working set of 300m (which includes platform state, eg x11). I still have some work to do on snapshot to save less free soace in the image and on load to limit the amount of free space allocated.
