Could you write old continuations to disk? That way older continuations would take longer to resurrect, because they would come from disk, but at least they would still be around. You could probably store them for a few days before expiring them from the disk cache.
I guess this could totally thrash performance by causing a lot of disk I/O, but I have no sense of how likely this is. If you had some statistics about the rate of continuation-cache misses and how often cache evictions occur, you could probably get a good idea whether it's feasible.
- jcl 18y agoThe impression I get from the following newsgroup thread is that mzscheme doesn't support serializing continuations to disk... at least not easily: http://www.cs.brown.edu/pipermail/plt-scheme/2007-February/016343.html http://www.cs.brown.edu/pipermail/plt-scheme/2007-February/0... Perhaps it is possible under other Schemes, though?
