Hello All, The kind people at #haskell suggested I come to haskell-cafe for questions about haskell performance issues. I'm new to haskell, and I'm having a hard time understanding how to deal with memory leaks.
I've been playing with some network server examples and I noticed with each new connection, the memory footprint increases by about 7k However, the leaks don't seem to have anything to do with the networking code. Actually I get a huge leak just from using using 'forever'. > import Control.Monad > import System.IO > > main = forever $ putStrLn "hi" When I run it for a few seconds with profiling... > total time = 0.36 secs (18 ticks @ 20 ms) > total alloc = 54,423,396 bytes (excludes profiling overheads) Can this be right? _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
