^this^ really really hurts. The test seems to hang. Actually, it's just taking forever (not sure how close an approximation that is) for --gc-debug. If I run without -gc-debug it completes. Timings for a run of 10,000 (not 100,000) on a 1.2 GHz Powerbook are $ time ./parrot --gc-debug t/pmc/resizablestringarray_11.pasm ok real 0m18.438s user 0m15.880s sys 0m0.420s whereas 9000 is real 0m18.438s user 0m15.880s sys 0m0.420s so the slowdown is worse than linear. It's also tying up a fast x86 FreeBSD box, so it's not something PPC or OS X specific. Did it really need to be higher than (say) 5000? Nicholas Clark
