We are using the latest release version of CFFI internally, and I have tried out the cffi+lotsastuff branch as we are interested in the integration of Babel. When I switched to the branch, I saw the performance of our application drop dramatically, and the profiler showed that run time is dominated by calls to PARSE-TYPE. I have implemented a caching mechanism as a cure, but as that is not thread safe, it is not a general solution. > A few weeks ago, some optimizations to PARSE-TYPE and FOREIGN-ALLOC > (which was calling PARSE-TYPE more often than necessary).

Every invocation of FOREIGN-STRING-ALLOC eventually invokes PARSE-TYPE, and we use it a lot. -Hans _______________________________________________ cffi-devel mailing list cffi-devel@common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cffi-devel
