From page 98 of the ResEdit Reference manual from Apple (typos probably due to me): ''If you hold down the command, option, and shift keys while choosing About ResEdit from the Apple menu, you can toggle a special stress-testing mode ("Pig mode"). In this mode, ResEdit performs a compact-memmory operation and a purge-memory operation each time it receives an event from the queue, excepting null events. This feature was designed as an aid to debugging ResEdit itself, and is clearly something most people will never have any use for. It is suggested that you avoid invoking this mode unless you are writing an editor [an extension to ResEdit] and feel a need to stress-test it.`` Notice that debuggers like TMON have a heap check/scramble/purge feature which is more comprehensive though probably slower. MacsBug has various dcmd's which do the same thing.
