Hi, with Yuriy and Miroslava we have tried to finish a pull request for conversion of rules to Renraku. But we had to face to a strange failing tests. It was not clear on the first sight but these tests were failing because of time-outs. Then we realized that the reason for this may be in big amount of records in the ASTCache. After some investigation with Denis we discovered that the real reason is in the presence of garbageCollect call in PharoClassInstaller>>#migrateClasses:to:using: and the big ASTCache only made this call significantly slower.
It looks like Denis proved that the removal of this garbageCollect call is safe. So we should try to remove it in Pharo 7 because it evidently makes performance issues. -- Pavel 2017-04-16 8:48 GMT+02:00 Tudor Girba <tu...@tudorgirba.com>: > Hi, > > Please let’s move this discussion on pharo-dev.
