Further to my last reply: Yes, you can specify the PDL
sizes of any new process you create, thus:

  (make-instance 'my-window-with-process-mixin
	:width <>
	:height <>
	:process '(My-Process-Top-Level-Function
		     :special-pdl-size 4000
		     :regular-pdl-size 10000
	          )
  )

or

  (make-process "My Process"
	:priority -1
	:special-pdl-size 4000
	:regular-pdl-size 10000
  )
