Depended on ram but on first load:
On a 28k 340x it was
Space 157500 return
On a 16k 340x it was
Space 77500 return
Lots of noise absolute loader then success...
High speed reader?
Now you have that useful info back in your brain :)
I remember these as by the time I was using the Pdps their core memories were failing - we later replaced the core with a CMOS card. Then they spent some money and got 3400a replacements.
Best regards

I remember examing the cells, or whatever the proper term is, and then reentering those numbers on restart to keep the existing edl. Working of an LPT terminal with the snail trail paper. And the fun of loading the boot strap program before the main program off paper tape. That was always a scary time for me.

I still have my Cardac cardboard slide device to teach you how to increment the program counter by one and execute an instruction or read the data depending on where you are in the cycle of things. Guys like the late Dave Bargin knew what I'm talking about. As your post alludes to the higher level languages that are abstractions of real machine language are never a efficient as the real thing. With my limited knowledge in the area I would liken it to learning to drive an automatic first. Rarely do those people go back and learn the nuts and bolts of a manual transmission. You might ask why should they? But like the Dead Heads say, "If you gotta ask....."
