New numbers with a fresh install of 5.2: starts 200MB open 5 buffers 230MB first scribble 300MB compile all buffers 450MB recompile first 530MB all again 580MB all again 650MB all again 620MB all again 680MB all again 700MB all again 720MB all again 660MB all again 690MB all again 710MB
Interestingly, the numbers are around half of what I had yesterday with the old install. But the tendency is quite similar. A constant increase and then stabilize around 700MB (which yesterday was 1.3GB, causing troubles on my machine). The whole experiment was done in 20 minutes or so, leaving time in between compiles. Note that I have repeated the experiment of yesterday with the previous install, with very similar results (800MB after first compile of 5 buffers, 1GB after first recompile). In less than 5 minutes. This yields two (probably very naive) questions: - how come the previous install behaves this way? it's true I have activated online syntax check before, but it is now disabled. Can it have left an impact? - why does compiling the same files again and again mean taking up more memory? are there caches or other data which DrRacket keeps hanging on to?
