I know, I was thinking to enable the GC only in the GC-specific test of course. The idea is to have a test stressing the GC heavily, such as the example code in #4074. The reason I suggest doing it in pybench is that it offers existing facilities for measuring execution times, agregating results etc. > Regarding memory management: The exact amount of used memory is hard to > determine from within a process due to the way e.g. Linux or other > modern OSes manage memory. I was not thinking about measuring the amount of used memory but rather the time spent in specific tests which would focus on the CPU cost of memory allocation rather than computation or control flow. Something like allocating lots of strings or tuples of various sizes, then releasing them in various orders. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4093> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
