I thought it would have higher memory usage? (based only on reading)
- smolder 4y agoI suspect their relative memory efficiency depends on the size of the program and the size of the data it's processing.
- chc 4y agoSomewhat paradoxically, PyPy always uses more memory for programs with small working sets, but can use less memory for programs with large working sets. 1/6 is a lot more extreme than I would have expected, though.
- rurban 4y agoNo, it has drastically less memory requirements. It's very similar to my perl compiler, and even in non-optimizing mode it uses much less memory. In optimizing mode it's almost the same as this one. Just ~20 years older.
