Martin v. Löwis <mar...@v.loewis.de> added the comment: In order to arrive at some resolution of this issue, I'm answering the original question ("Should Python enable a way for folks to inform the OS of MADV_MERGEABLE memory?"). The discussion has shown that the answer is "no"; there are no pages of memory where this would provide any advantage.
Closing as "won't fix". Anybody reopening it should a) provide a patch with the actual change to be made, and b) accompany it with a benchmark demonstrating some gain. ---------- nosy: +loewis resolution: -> wont fix status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9942> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
