McGrath: Proposal for a new Fedora projectMcGrath: Proposal for a new Fedora projectPosted Oct 10, 2010 0:57 UTC (Sun) by nix (subscriber, #2304)In reply to: McGrath: Proposal for a new Fedora project by oak Parent article: McGrath: Proposal for a new Fedora project
The code was not native code: it was Lua code embedded in a C string and then executed. So, no, not JITted, byt not native GC either.
1-2Mb overhead, well, yes, it seems excessive because it was tuned to find a good tradeoff between GC frequency/intensity and CPU consumption. (I suspect that most of that overhead is actually heap fragmentation, which even a non-GCed program is exposed to.)
(We are in luck sizewise, though: most of the allocations are the same size. Not all, but most.)
