Tuning minfree?

[Reed Hastings]

Can anyone tell me how to tune minfree, desfree, and lotsfree for running
one large program on a Sun with 24 megs of memory.  I want the large
program to get more of memory than is normally allowed, as it's the only
thing running that I care about.  What are the trade-offs in such tuning?


The large program is a version of Lisp,  on a 3/60 still running 3.5 if
that matters.  Many thanks for any insights you have.
