A) This is from April. It's being resubmitted because the URL changed.
B) In a non-memory managed language, wouldn't you just run into the same problem except it's called "heap fragmentation" instead and malloc has to do an unreasonable amount of work to find free blocks to use?
- bboreham 7y agoB. no, it’s quite subtle but this is just tweaking a housekeeping parameter inside the garbage collector.
- masklinn 7y agoNo, the issue here is not fragmentation or allocation itself, it’s that the GC heuristics make it way too aggressive to keep memory down (burning cpu the application could use for productive things) despite only a small fraction of the machine’s memory being used.
