I have a very simple test case in clojure 1.2: (def * 100000000* (count (range 0 100000000)))
I have a loop running in another thread that periodically causes a full gc and then prints the amount of used memory every 2 seconds. Evaluating the above form, I get: Used memory: 0.079951296 G Used memory: 0.32577516 G Used memory: 0.847947752 G Used memory: 1.377162736 G Used memory: 1.878349032 G Used memory: 2.202150656 G Used memory: 2.686696656 G Used memory: 3.14701836 G ... Seems like something is holding onto the front of the sequence. However, if I use the following instead: (def *100000000* (#(count (range 0 100000000)))) The problem goes away: Used memory: 0.07999508 G Used memory: 0.0799572 G Used memory: 0.07999796 G Used memory: 0.079997392 G Used memory: 0.111486904 G Used memory: 0.079995512 G Used memory: 0.11590836 G Used memory: 0.080138968 G Used memory: 0.080005136 G Used memory: 0.079963912 G Used memory: 0.07996396 G Used memory: 0.079964008 G Any ideas? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
