- andreareina 9y agoThe OOM killer preferentially targets processes with a lot of memory allocated. If you actually let emacs consume all memory it's likely to die without warning.
- dilap 9y agoso far so good, been doing it since january (so coming up on 1 year). i remembered what the driving reason was to disable gc: turning off gc gets my emacs startup time down to ~400ms from ~600ms.
