Great! I'll look at your patches more soon. In cross-compiling mode, probably `configure' should just use whatever `racket' is installed rather than a specific path to some `rakcetcgc'. > It seems to be using even more memory than the Boehm variant, though :-/ I'm not too surprised, but I think that using 3m at least puts us in better shape to improve things... > Any pointers to interesting knobs for tuning 3m's behaviour? The "newgc.c" file has #define GEN0_INITIAL_SIZE (1 * 1024 * 1024) #define GEN0_SIZE_FACTOR 0.5 #define GEN0_SIZE_ADDITION (512 * 1024) #define GEN0_MAX_SIZE (32 * 1024 * 1024) #define GEN0_PAGE_SIZE (1 * 1024 * 1024) You can start by adjusting with those numbers, especially the GEN0_SIZE_FACTOR value (lower should trigger GCs more frequently) and the GEN0_MAX_SIZE value. _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/users
