From: Brent Roman Date: 2008-12-21T18:06:53+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:20752] Re: [PATCH] Promising C coding techniques to reduce MRI's memory use Just finished running the standard regression test suite with both unpatched and patched versions of 1.8.7. I think the results are encouraging, but there are a couple issues: Process Size Inital/Final User's CPU time (from the time command) Unpatched 1.8.7-p72: 30MB/97MB 92 seconds MBARI 6 atop 1.8.7-p2: 30MB/57MB 100 seconds The patched version reports one additional failure: 2) Failure: test_should_propagate_signaled(TestBeginEndBlock) [./ruby/test_beginendblock.rb:81]: <""> expected to be =~ . 1878 tests, 1344988 assertions, 2 failures, 0 errors real 2m35.696s user 1m39.422s sys 0m3.284s And, the drb test segfaults with the patched version. (so I removed it for both the patched and unpatched for comparason) Looks like I also will be playing with these patches over the holidays.
