From: Hongli Lai Date: 2008-03-14T12:20:50+09:00 Subject: Re: Copy-on-write friendly garbage collector Hi. More optimization updates. I'm currently working on pluggable mark table implementations. This makes it possible to choose, during runtime, whether to use the copy-on-write friendly mark table, or the classic "mark table" (i.e. setting the FL_MARK flag on objects). Using the classic "mark table" with this approach results in only 1% performance loss (which is caused by function call overhead and can't be avoided). I'll post a patch soon. Regards, Hongli Lai
