Here I am confused. 100million floats in a list takes about 800M byte
memory. This is acceptable.
for i in xrange(100000000):
data[i] = random()
so it should be 800M plus a float returned by random(). But the problem
is after this loop, except 800M bytes list, another >2G memory is
occupied. And delete data list and call gc.collect() does not release
these memory. I think you mean there are lots of floats used in random
() call, they should be released after random() returned.
