I'm not sure if there has been a recent change, but I've always noticed that this test suite requires a lot of memory. What has brought my attention to it especially is that I've been awake while my box has been running the test and it brings things to a crawl with swapping :-( I can't say for sure what the memory requirements are but it is clearly more than what a system with 2GiB of RAM can handle. I can say I've seen it using 1.7GiB (right before I cut it off because I needed to get some work done).
My first thought is there is something going terribly wrong due to the tests being run under win32, but I don't get any errors indicating that sort of thing is going on. Is this memory usage intended? Is there anything that can be done to reduce it? I'd hate to have to start skipping those tests. -Scott -- Scott Dial [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
