[Aspell-user] Aspell doubt

[Ananda Kumar C]

Hi All

I am developing an application which uses aspell for spell checking, 
using the C api.
I want to know how Aspell works . Is the dictionary loaded completely 
into the memory at startup?
I saw that the English dictionary was close to 2 MB.
Also in case of multiple processes in the same machine, does aspell 
share the dictionary memory across processes?
I would have multiple instances of this application running on a single 
box and I am concerned about memory constraints/requirements.

Thanks in advance,

Anand
