After recent rakudo updates whateverables started having some problems. At first I thought that they simply became slower, but upon further investigation it turned out that their memory usage was increasing during the operation (which is most likely the reason for them to slow down during the execution). MasterDuke++ did a lot of investigation and measurements, so I'm hoping to see his comments here. I don't have much to say, so I'll just give a bunch of links. Please bear with me. Initial conversation and relatively golfed down code: https://irclog.perlgeek.de/moarvm/2017-08-05#i_14973432 https://gist.github.com/MasterDuke17/685b627a6a2749483dc5ec09c6a777a4 dogbert11++ reproducing the issue https://irclog.perlgeek.de/moarvm/2017-08-06#i_14976177 (note that it seems like there's no memory leak, but the memory usage is growing) More: https://irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2017-08-08#i_14987204 I don't know if this affects anybody else, but jdv79++ was talking about some memory issues recently: https://irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6-dev/2017-08-05#i_14973488
