I enjoyed your detailed response, it adds value to this discussion, but I feel you missed the point of my comment. I am against blanket statements "reduce allocations to reduce GC pressure", which lead people wrong way: they comp

What do you mean? Pool content can't be GCed , because there are references to it: pool itself. What people do is what this article suggested, pool.Get/pool.Put, which makes it only grow in size even if load profile changes. App l

From that perspective it boils down to "do less", which is what any perf guide already includes, allocations is just no different from anything else what app do. My comment is more about "reduce allocations to reduce GC press

also no one GCs sync.Pool. After a spike in utilization, live with increased memory usage until program restart.

by nopurpose 2y ago
Every perf guide recommends to minimize allocations to reduce GC times, but if you look at pprof of a Go app, GC mark phase is what takes time, not GC sweep. GC mark always starts with known live roots (goroutine stacks, globals, etc) and t

you are comparing what is possible but can be slow with blobless with what is impossible with shallow, which is unfair.

by nopurpose 2y ago
blobless still better than shallow because at least commit history is preserved.

It reminds me of an effort to improve docker image format and make it move away from being just a tar file. I can't find links anymore, but it was a pretty clever design, which still couldn't beat dumb tar in efficiency.

Speaking of rope. Right this moment GKE clusters can't provision large volumes (~4TiB) because their CSI driver receive OOMKill when formatting volume. Problem was reported back in Apr and still not fixed.
