The Tag-Frame system of resource management [1] reunited two divergent threads of linear logic programming research by achieving the efficient proof search behaviour of abstract systems, such as [2], while using a low-level tag-based approach, as in [3], suitable for specifying an abstract machine. However, Tag-Frame relies on set operations which are linear in the size of the sets, and is not as efficient, in general, as it could be. We present a new tag-based derivation system which relies solely on low-level concepts to implement efficient resource management, where most linear time operations have been replaced by constant time ones. Though motivated and informed by the Tag-Frame system, we derive our system directly from, and prove its correctness with respect to the system of Cervesato et al. [2]. An abstract machine based on the new system has been implemented by Tamura and Banbara, and its performance compared to their previous machine.
