So I attempted to measure the memory overhead of a Stackless tasklet, with
'Recipe 286222' from ActiveState's Cookbook:
(on Linux 2.6.27-11-generic SMP x86_64)
def empty(): pass
b4 = memory()
print "before:", b4
t = stackless.tasklet(empty)()
after = memory()
print "after:", after
print "differenc
Very nice, thanks Peter!

Good question; I just picked this up somewhere, and cannot find a definitive
answer; do you have it?
And I suppose my wording glosses over the fact that it depends on what you
are doing, right?
So is there a known 'memory overhead' for a tasklet?
And is there a known overhead for a lua coro? (May

How do you know they are only a few kilobytes a piece?

Stackless's 'tasklets' weigh only a few kilobytes a piece; what does a lua
coroutine weigh?
Stackless, going from my limited understanding here, is not 'actually
stackless' at all -- but by manipulating the C stack, allows dynamic
switching between (arbitrary?) frames. I have read that lua is 'li
Please share your opinion: How does lua 'stack up' against Stackless
Python? (intentionally vague ;-)
It's not my intention to stir up a 'flame war' between two 'language lists',
though I imagine that could be entertaining...
Seriously though, if you have anything at all to raise here, please do.
