On 64bit machine the wins are tremendous - it's 4x more efficient to use 16bit pointers than full 64bit pointers. +.. XXX: I assume you are talking about "memory efficiency": we should be clearer Additionally those pointers have a much better defined lifespan, so we don't need to bother tracking them by the GC, which also saves quite a bit of time. _______________________________________________ pypy-commit mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-commit
