"2009Q3 uses up to 930% less memory than the 2009Q2 release." Does that math make sense in some way I'm not seeing?

"2009Q3 uses up to 930% less memory than the 2009Q2 release."
Does that math make sense in some way I'm not seeing?
- sparky 17y agoIt's unconventional, but 9.3x less memory can be seen in some sense as 1/9.3=10.7 percent as much memory. Not defending it, just trying to interpret :P
- sp332 17y agoYou can't have 9.3x less memory, either. You can have (1/9.3)x as much memory, or they could just say 10% as much or 90% less.
- iclelland 17y agoActually, it's 10.3x less memory (they've subtracted 1), so it's using 9.7% as much memory as the previous release. I would have said that 90.3% less than before, but maybe that's just me
- wisesage5001 17y agoFrom their benchmarks rietveld: $ ./perf.py -r -b rietveld --args "-j always," --track_memory ../q2/python ../q3/python Mem max: 575116.000 -> 55952.000: 927.87% smaller This 930% basically means that 2009Q3 can use as little as ~1/10 of the memory of 2009Q2.
- ErrantX 17y agoI never checked but I assumed it meant that the memory savings of Q3 compared to the savings of Q2 increased 930%
