I assume not, since the administration overhead would be too large. > If FPC does not fit into the CPU cache, then the CPU has to constantly > load code mem additionally to the data. - only the hot track has to fit. It makes no sense to cache processing parameter options. - all caches are afaik unified nowadays, so both code and data dynamically share the cache It could be that the working set is larger for FPC, but I doubt you can see this from the .exe size. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
