Re: [PATCH] Make GC dependent on % of total memory consed

I've deleted xemacs-patches since this is up for general discussion. Ben> The purpose of this is to make GC time be a constant Ben> amortized percentage of total run time, regardless of how big Ben> XEmacs is. (Currently, GC time will become a progressively Ben> larger percent of total time as the size of XEmacs Ben> increases.) Note that the lower bound in gc-cons-threshold Ben> (500K) still applies. I'd like to run with this for a while before making comments on the algorithm change, but I think we should bump to gc-cons-threshold to at least 2MB while we're at it. -- School of Systems and Information Engineering http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
