Hello Guys, Been testing fastthread (known on previous releases as optimized_locking) for soon to be released 0.3.18 mswin32 gems (official ones).
Attached to this message is the ruby script I used for the test results shown on graphics [1] and [2] The idea of the script is simulate what Mongrel do with threads creating a simple workload for testing Ruby VM stability. [1] refers to normal, unmodified ruby Mutex functionality under Windows. [2] is fastthread overlay modification (which must be loaded prior ruby thread functions). What you can see from both graphs, is the similarities of both results, but unmodified Mutex slightly increments its memory "peak" values. Could anyone on the list confirm these stability enhancement on other platforms? AFAIK, the huge memory leakage only affects *nix versions of ruby, I couldn't reproduce the problem shown by Zed on the list [3], and my results, back in august [4] [1] http://mmediasys.com/mongrel/mutex-rb.png [2] http://mmediasys.com/mongrel/mutex-fastthread.png [3] http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/mongrel-users/2006-August/001239.html [4] http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/mongrel-users/2006-August/001253.html -- Luis Lavena Multimedia systems - Leaders are made, they are not born.
