Thanks Carl!
> A: REBOL/Base is a reduction of REBOL/Core trimmed down to the essential
native and mezzanine functions and schemes. All protocols, help information,
and functions are stripped, but can be added back on an individual basis.
A few unsets have been trimmed too.
> A: REBOL/Base is designed for developers who want to create minimal REBOL
environments and precisely control what functions they initialize. For
instance, if you only need SMTP or HTTP, why take the time and space to boot
all the other protocols?
An excellent idea.
On my very specific measure of start up time, it takes roughly half the time
of Core which takes half the time View.
